Sample Size Estimation

Pictured is the sample size formula for a test of two normally distributed means as a function of: the ratio of the sample size in each group (r), the standard deviation (σ), the effect size (difference) between the two means under the alternative hypothesis, and the Zα/2 and Zpower coefficients that will give the appropriate alpha and beta error rates for your study design.  There are a large number of these types of formulas for many different types of studies and we can assist you with the design of any type of study you plan to perform.  We are especially adept with sample size estimation for point processes, survival analysis, and longitudinal data analysis.  Please contact us so we can assist you with the design and analysis of your study.
