Learning objectives
The course will provide an overview on the methods to compute sample size necessary to achieve an adequate precision in estimating proportions or an adequate statistical power to compare the means of two independent or dependent samples, or the proportions of two independent samples. The concepts of statistical power, statistical precision, sample size and effect size will be reviewed. Statistical power computations will be illustrated by Excel files and Stata software. Participants will be encouraged to bring power calculation problems, to be used as examples in the class.
Prerequisites and basic notions
Students should have basic knowledge of Mathematics and Statistics.
Program
Confidence interval and precision of the estimate. Methods to compute sample size necessary to achieve an adequate precision in estimating proportions.
Probability of type II error and power of a statistical test. Methods to compute sample size necessary to achieve an adequate statistical power to compare the means of two independent or dependent samples, or the proportions of two independent samples.
When and where
Lessons will take place in the computer room. Statistical power computations will be illustrated by Excel files and Stata software (Stata and R-commander). Participants will be encouraged to bring power calculation problems, to be used as examples in the class.
Learning assessment procedures
A written exam will be administered. Students will have to compute sample size in a given problem.
Assessment
The exam will evaluate not only the acquisition of statistical knowledge, but also the ability to adopt it critically to solve health problems.
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
The final mark will be expressed on a scale ranging from 0 to 30. A minimum mark of 18 will be required in order to pass the exam.
