If you’re able to detect statistical significance at a difference of 10%, and 10% is a meaningful difference, there is no need for a larger sample size, or higher magnification. However, if the study will only be useful if a significant difference is detected for smaller differences – sa...
Predsion We have already indicated that, to estimate sample size for a survival study, one must specify the baseline survival rate, the treatment difference that one seeks to detect, the significance level for the test and the desired power of the test. But all these variables either can be...
Proper estimation of sample size is crucial to the success of a study. The ability to detect an effect, if one exists, is coiled statistical power. To make sure a study has sufficient statistical power, researchers conduct a power analysis, which determines how many subjects must be included ...
Although complexity of a formula increases with complexity in study design, the basic structure of a sample size calculation formula is very simple. This paper attempts to review the basic requirements for computation of the magic number required to estimate unknown target population quantities and to...
Estimate the proportion of the largest group. If you are unsure, use 0.5 as the expected proportion because the closer the two proportions, larger the sample size you will need. For example, if you expected 60 percent of people to vote for the incumbent, you would use 0.6. ...
Next find out the standard deviation for the population parameter you're trying to estimate with your survey. Use the standard deviation of the population parameter given in the problem or estimate the standard deviation. If it is not given, use the standard deviation from a similar study. If...

A sample size = a small representation of a larger group of people who you want to know more about. For example, let’s say you are running a study on trends in customer service. It’s not feasible to survey everyone in the entire customer service industry. Instead, yo...
