Abstract:
|
In this talk we will discuss the design of a clinical trial considering one of its most critical aspects - sample size determination. We will describe a framework where we will examine sample size calculation under frequentist and Bayesian approaches. Despite the philosophical differences, we will show correspondences between Bayesian and frequentist designs.
