`This review holds two main aims. The first aim is to explain the importance of sample size and its relationship to effect size (ES) and statistical significance. The second aim is to assist researchers planning to perform sample size estimations by suggesting and elucidating available alternative software, guidelines and references that will serve different scientific purposes.`

PubMed Central (PMC)Sample size, power and effect size revisited: simplified and practical approaches in pre-clinical, clinical and laboratory studiesCalculating the sample size in scientific studies is one of the critical issues as regards the scientific contribution of the study. The sample size critically affects the hypothesis and the study design, and there is no straightforward way of calculating ...

I'll be offering an introduction to #simulation methods to determine #SampleSize-s for clustered / nested studies.

Apparently another popular session at #RMeF23 🙇

One of the classics that got me into this area is Ukoumunne's

I was always interested in how to straddle the overlap between observational #TherapistEffect studies* and #RCTs in this area.

#Rstats #StudyDesign

* eg., rdcu.be/dqi20

One of the most problematic areas in the submission we get and papers I review are the sections on #SampleSize justifications.

See for example @lakens' excellent paper on the topic:
psyarxiv.com/9d3yf/
It now comes with a process guide in a #ShinyApp, which is an excellent support:

#Rstats

For #HRQL researchers:

And many people teach this stuff, e.g., ☺️

Online #workshop:
Simulation-based power analyses in (generalized) linear mixed models
17.05.2023, 10-12h CEST

The workshop will cover basics of power analysis, linear mixed models, and why the combination of both requires a simulation-based approach.

In my experience, this is for many areas of #HealthSciences and #HRQL research a key problem when designing studies.

Maybe worth a read as well:

My latest post - OC Curve and Reliability/Confidence Sample Sizes:

#SampleSize #Statistics #Reliability #Confidence #Minitab

I have had a lot of feedback on one of my earlier posts on OC curves and how one can use it to generate a reliability/confidence statement based on sample size, n and rejects, c. This post is mostly geared towards giving an overview of using OC curves to generate reliability/confidence values and using Minitab to do the same.
