Sample size DeterminationRalph B. Dell, Steve Holleran, and Rajasekhar RamakrishnanAbstractScientists who use animals in research must justify the num-ber of animals to be used, and committees that review pro-posals to use animals in research must review thisjustification to ensure the appropriateness of the numberof animals to be used. This article discusses when the num-ber of animals to be used can best be estimated from pre-vious experience and when a simple power and sample sizecalculation should be performed. Even complicated experi-mental designs requiring sophisticated statistical modelsfor analysis can usually be simplified to a single key orcritical question so that simple formulae can be used toestimate the required sample size .
