The assessment of sample size in clinical trials comparing population means requires a variance estimate of the main efficacy variable. When this variance estimate has a low precision, it may be appropriate to use the data from the first patients entered in the trial ('internal pilot study') to esti

✦ Synopsis
The impact prediction stage in strategic environmental assessment (SEA) is commonly followed by a comparison of the alternative development proposals, leading to the selection of a single alternative. A pilot method has been devised to compare the development alternatives of Syros ± a small island in the Aegean. The method aggregates the information from the impact prediction stage by evaluating the likely outcomes of the alternatives with participation of the public, and proceeds until the selection of the most suitable proposed development alternative.
