Sample Size Calculations Using SAS, R, and nQuery Software

1 Paper 4675-2020 Sample size calculation Using SAS , R, and nQuery Software Jenna Cody, Johnson & Johnson ABSTRACT A prospective determination of the Sample size enables researchers to conduct a study that has the statistical power needed to detect the minimum clinically important difference between treatment groups. With knowledge or assumptions about the study design, drop-out rate, variation of the outcome measure, and desired power and alpha levels, the required Sample size for a study can be calculated. This paper discusses methods for calculating Sample size by hand and through the use of statistical Software . It walks through the method for computing Sample size Using the POWER procedure and the GLMPOWER procedure in SAS and compares the commands and user interfaces of SAS with R and nQuery Software for Sample size Calculations . INTRODUCTION Selecting the appropriate Sample size for a study is one of the fundamental tasks required of a statistician.
