We derive an explicit form for power/sample size calculation based on these two tests. A number of simulation studies have been used to illustrate the efficiency of the tests for the case-cohort design. An example is provided on how to use the formula. 展开 关键词:...
The precision of the estimate needed to be within five percentage points as assessed by the 95% confidence interval for the population prevalence—that is, a 95% confidence interval of 15% to 25%. The required sample size was 246. To allow for a potential 20% failure rate in obtaining ...
We consider prospective PSS analysis (PSS analysis of a future study) as opposed to retrospective PSS analysis (analysis of a study that has already happened). 1 2 intro — Introduction to power and sample-size analysis Statistical inference, such as hypothesis testing, is used to evaluate ...
Cluster randomised controlled trials (CRCTs) are frequently used in health service evaluation. Assuming an average cluster size, required sample sizes are readily computed for both binary and continuous outcomes, by estimating a design effect or inflatio
The proposed score sample size for high VE can be found by grid search from the case-control score sample size until the right-hand side of the equation achieves the desired power. Simulations To compare the case-control studies and TNDs, we performed a simulation study based on the same ...
The one-time cross-sectional nature of the study does not allow for a cause–effect conclusion to be made. With a relatively small sample size and imbalanced age, gender and overweight/obese proportions, the study consisted of generally healthy, well-educated and almost ethnically-homogenous ...

However, Mendelian randomization estimates based on genetic tools can also reflect certain estimated effects to some extent in our current study. Future research could employ more comprehensive approaches, such as long-term prospective cohort studies or interventional studies, to better assess the effects...
