When sample size is recalculated using unblinded interim data, use of the usual t-test at the end of a study may lead to an elevated type I error rate. This paper describes a numerical quadrature investigation to calculate the true probability of rejection as a function of the time of the recalculat

When designing a clinical trial, there is usually some uncertainty about the variability of the primary outcome variable. This may lead to an unnecessarily high or inadequately low sample size. The internal pilot study approach uses data from patients recruited up to an interim stage to re-estimate
## Abstract To evaluate the risk of a disease associated with the joint effects of genetic susceptibility and environmental exposures, epidemiologic researchers often test for nonโmultiplicative geneโenvironment effects from caseโcontrol studies. In this article, we present a comparative study of f
