Oct 30 – Nov 27:  Sample Size and Power Determination 

You can find sample size calculators on the web, but they can lead you astray if you don’t know what you’re doing. Better find out the sample size you need before you do your study!

In this course, you will use your choice of specialized software such as R, Power and Precision, Nquery, plus others, and will learn how to:

  • Specify the factors that interact to determine sample size
  • Estimate unknowns needed to calculate sample size
  • Deal with paired data
  • Find sample size for a regression analysis
  • Use software to calculate sample size needed for tests of means, proportions

This course is a required course in the Biostatistics Certificate Program.

See you in class!
