Sample size Saturation Qualitative research Interviews Focus group discussions 1. Introduction Saturation is the most common guiding principle for assessing the adequacy of purposive samples in qualitative research (Morse, 1995,2015;Sandelowski, 1995). However, guidance on assessing saturation and the samp...
When planning a research project, an epidemiologist must consider how many subjects should be studied. While factors such as available budget certainly present constraints on the maximum number of subjects that might actually be included in a study, stat
Sample size and high tip ratio bias also reduced accuracy and precision of parameter estimation, and resulted in the inability to infer which rate ... MP Davis,PE Midford,M Wayne - 《Bmc Evolutionary Biology》 被引量: 325发表: 2013年 A rapid method for estimation of oocyte size and potenti...
Sample-size estimation based on the traditional method of statistical significance is not appropriate for a study designed to make an inference about realworld significance, which requires interpretation of magnitude of an outcome. I present here a spreadsheet using two new methods for estimating sampl...
