Sample Size Calculations for Comparing Groups with Binary Outcomes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sample size is a critical parameter for clinical studies. However, to many biomedical and psychosocial investigators, power and sample size analysis seems like a magic trick of statisticians. In this paper, we continue to discuss power and sample size calculations by focusing on binary outcomes. We again emphasize the importance of close interactions between investigators and biostatisticians in setting up hypotheses and carrying out power analyses.

Sample size and power calculations based on generalized linear mixed models with correlated binary outcomes
The generalized linear mixed model (GLIMMIX) provides a powerful technique to model correlated outcomes with different types of distributions. The model can now be easily implemented with SAS PROC GLIMMIX in version 9.1. For binary outcomes, linearization methods of penalized quasi-likelihood (PQL) or marginal quasi-likelihood (MQL) provide relatively accurate variance estimates for fixed effec...
متن کاملSample Size Calculations for Comparing Groups with Continuous Outcomes
Sample size justification is required for all clinical studies. However, to many biomedical and clinical researchers, power and sample size analysis seems like a magic trick of statisticians. In this note, we discuss power and sample size calculations and show that biomedical and clinical investigators play a significant role in making such analyses possible and meaningful. Thus, power analysis...

Backgound and Objectives: Nowadats, it is very common to investigate the effect of a new method or medicine by using a comparison between two independent groups in many clinical studies, but unfortunately the sample size part has not been done based on scientific formulas but on practical issues in some researches of this type of cinical studies, and this makes some unreliable results. Therefor...
متن کاملSample Size Calculation for Comparing Proportions
In clinical research, in addition to continuous responses, primary clinical endpoints for assessment of efficacy and safety of a drug product under investigation could be binary responses. For example, in cancer trials, patients’ clinical reaction to the treatment is often classified as response (e.g., complete response or partial response) or nonresponse. Based on these binary responses, the p...
متن کاملSample size calculations for population pharmacodynamic experiments involving repeated dichotomous observations.
Analysis of repeated binary measurements presents a challenge in terms of the correlation between measurements within an individual and a mixed-effects modelling approach has been used for the analysis of such data. Sample size calculation is an important part of clinical trial design and it is often based on the method of analysis. We present a method for calculating the sample size for repeat...
