1 HOW TO DETERMINE THE NUMBER OF SUBJECTS NEEDED FOR MY STUDY? TUTORIAL ON SAMPLE SIZE AND POWER CALCULATIONS FOR INEQUALITY TESTS. John Zavrakidis May 28, 2018 J.Zavrakidis Sample and Power Calculations

2 OUTLINE Introduction Sample Size Calculation General Information Sample Size Calculation for Continuous Outcome Sample Size Calculation for Binary Outcome Sample Size Calculation for Survival Outcome Summary Sample and Power Calculations J.Zavrakidis May 28, 2018

3 J.Zavrakidis Sample and Power Calculations May 28, 2018 HOW MUCH DATA? Not feasible to collect data on the entire population of interest a random sample is collected How many subjects in a random sample? If no data collection constraints: the more data the better If data collection constraints: sufficient data to ensure results to be accurate, efficient and credible Sample Size Calculation: Is intended to determine the minimal data (or sample size) required for detecting a relevant result. Should be used at the planning stage of theinvestigation

4 HOW MUCH DATA? Sample size & Statistical Power Too small sample size Powerless experiment Unreliable results Too big sample size Too powerful No meaningful results More Power increases chances of finding significant results More Power increases chances of replicating prior findings More Power increases confidence about results, either significant or not Sample and Power Calculations J.Zavrakidis May 28, 2018

5 PROCEDURE FOR A PRIORI SAMPLE SIZE CALCULATION 1. Decide on outcome variables and their measurement level 2. Choose a statistical model Specify the null and the alternative hypothesis Choose test statistic 3. Prespecify the effect size Decide about expected difference, the smallest effect size that can be considered clinically important 4. Select the desired power and α level α (significance level of the test): probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true power: probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is false, i.e. probability of correctly rejecting H0 J.Zavrakidis Sample and Power Calculations May 28, 2018

6 TYPES OF OUTCOME AND STATISTICAL MODEL Examples: Means: t-test or ANOVA Proportions: Z test for 2 proportions Bivariate relationship: test for 2 correlations Multiple regression: test for 2 slopes J.Zavrakidis Sample and Power Calculations May 28, 2018

7 HYPOTHESIS TESTING Non-inferiority/superiority testing H0: parameter -δ H1: parameter > -δ Equivalence testing H0: parameter δ or parameter δ H1: δ < parameter < δ Equality/inequality testing H0: parameter = δ H1: parameter δ (or parameter > δ, or parameter < δ) δ: non-inferiority/superiority/equivalence margin Sample and Power Calculations J.Zavrakidis May 28, 2018

8 INEQUALITY HYPOTHESIS TESTING H 0 : parameter = parameter value H 1 : parameter parameter value (or parameter > parameter value, or parameter < parameter value) Decision State of nature Reject H 0 Do not reject H 0 H 0 true Type I error (α) Correct decision (1-α) H 0 false Correct decision (1 β) Type II error (β) Sample and Power Calculations J.Zavrakidis May 28, 2018

9 INEQUALITY HYPOTHESIS TESTING Significance level of the test: probability of incorrectly concluding a significant effect when it does not really exist in the population o The α is often set to 0.05 (5%), sometimes to 0.01 (1%) or 0.10 (10%). Sampling distribution associated with H0 /2 /2 Power : probability of correctly concluding a significant effect when it really exists in the population o It is accepted that the power should be 0.8 or greater. o Power = 1-β Sample and Power Calculations J.Zavrakidis May 28, 2018

10 INEQUALITY HYPOTHESIS TESTING Test statistics: Test Statistic = Effect size Standard error Test statistic has a sampling distribution Sampling distribution associated with H0 Sampling distribution associated with H1 Sample and Power Calculations J.Zavrakidis May 28, 2018

13 EFFECT SIZE Effect size is a measure of the magnitude of a difference or relationship Unstandardized effect size E.g. (mean group 1 - mean group 2) Standardized effect size E.g. ((mean group 1 - mean group 2)/pooled standard deviation). Used when the metrics of variables being studied do not have intrinsic meaning, when results from multiple studies are being combined, when some or all of the studies use different scales. Determining effect size: Based on 1. substantive knowledge clinically relevant effect 2. findings from prior research 3. a pilot study 4. conventions, e.g. defined by Cohen (means comparison: d=0.20 is small effect, d=0.50 is medium effect, d=0.80 is large effect) Sample and Power Calculations J.Zavrakidis May 28, 2018

44 LIMITATIONS OF SAMPLE SIZE ANALYSIS Based on assumptions and educated guesses, the analyses give a "best case scenario" estimate of necessary sample size Good strategy is to compute the required sample size for different levels of effect size, α, power, and present N in a range instead of a single number q C q E d HR N power % % % % % % Sample and Power Calculations J.Zavrakidis May 28, 2018

45 ADJUSTMENTS OF SAMPLE SIZE ANALYSIS Loss to follow-up: participants withdraw from the study, are lost to follow-up, information on key variables is missing Multiple regression: testing multiple hypotheses since many effect sizes are estimated, N > 10 ( # prognostic factors ) Interaction: subgroup analyses require at least four times larger sample size than analyses of overall association Sample and Power Calculations J.Zavrakidis May 28, 2018

46 SMALL SAMPLE SIZE ANALYSIS Small sample: studies that have typically between 5 and 30 observations Only large effects can be detected There are fewer options with respect to appropriate statistical procedure, e.g. correlations, logistic regression, multilevel modeling are not appropriate Generalizability of the results may also be questionable Precision of the point estimation is less precise, CI is wider with smaller sample size Sample and Power Calculations J.Zavrakidis May 28, 2018
