Today, I released a new module in the Statistics Globe Hub that explains how to perform sample size calculation using power analysis.

#statstab #492 A tiny review on e-values and e-processes

Thoughts: How to be a bayesian while wearing a frequentist hat.

#statstab #489 On the performance of the Neyman Allocation with small pilots

Thoughts: If you know your treatment condition will have larger variance you can optimise your sample size.

#statstab #477 Donโ€™t calculate post-hoc power using observed estimate of effect size

Thoughts: Good discussion and many useful references. Even big journals print stupid stuff.

#statstab #470 Low power bias {shiny} app

Thoughts: easily show what conducting an underpowered study would do to your effect size (type M error).

Paper in a key area of my methodological work, so it was really interesting. But I really needed to get stuck in.

Two collaboration projects on the design and reporting of #RCTs that might be useful for others:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37982521/
presents 19 factors to aid trial design, and the DELTA2 Guidance specifying a target difference and reporting the #SampleSize calculation for RCTs

#StudyDesign

Appropriate design and reporting of superiority, equivalence and non-inferiority clinical trials incorporating a benefit-risk assessment: the BRAINS study including expert workshop - PubMed

Funded by the Medical Research Council UK and the National Institute for Health and Care Research as part of the Medical Research Council-National Institute for Health and Care Research Methodology Research programme.

Introduction to metaforest

#samplesize and #ethics question: You plan for a study needing n=100 (50 per cell). Power analysis is all set up and pre-reg. But, because you do research in a uni, you are told you need to allow for more participants (students) as there is a set number of credits all need to reach. What do you do?
