Description

The general principles and pragmatics of sample-size analysis will be applied to a wide variety of research designs/questions and related statistical methods, both simple and complex. Examples and scientific issues will be stressed far more than mathematical and numerical underpinnings. SAS-based tools will be illustrated throughout, including the freeware module UnifyPow.sas (bio.ri.ccf.org/UnifyPow), as well as new regular PROCs and associated tools developed by the SAS Institute itself and scheduled to be introduced, at least in part, with the release of Version 9. One need not be familiar with SAS to understand the examples and to use SAS only for sample-size analyses or to re-do most of the calculations using other sample-size software.
