{title:Sample size for AB/BA cross-over trials with continuous measures}
|
||||
|
||||
This program will compute the required sample size for a simple crossover
|
||||
trial, that is AB/BA, or two-period two-treatment cross-over. It will
|
||||
estimate the power for a given sample size, too.
|
||||
|
||||
You must specify:
|
||||
alpha required significance level
|
||||
beta 1-power
|
||||
delta the difference between treatment arms
|
||||
stddev the standard deviation of this difference
|
||||
|
||||
You can specify:
|
||||
n different sample sizes, for which power will be computed
|
||||
|
||||
Requirements
|
||||
You must install the package nct ({help nct}) for this program to work.
|
||||
|
||||
Comments
|
||||
This program essentially duplicates step by step the method that is
|
||||
given in Stephen Senn, "Cross-over trials in clinical research", 1993,
|
||||
on page 217. It is almost the same as a one-sample t-test for the
|
||||
difference between treatment, except that this method uses the non-central
|
||||
t-distribution, which gives you more accurate answers.
|
||||
|
||||
The variables are assumed to be normally distributed.
