✦ Synopsis

In experiments designed to estimate a binomial parameter, sample sizes are often calculated to ensure that the point estimate will be within a desired distance from the true value with sufficiently high probability. Since exact calculations resulting from the standard formulation of this problem can be difficult, "conservative" and/or normal approximations are frequently used. In this paper, some problems with the current formulation are given, and a modified criterion that leads to some improvement is provided. A simple algorithm that calculates the cxact sample sizes under the modified criterion is provided, and these sample sizes are comparcd to those given by the standard approximate criterion, as well as to an exact conservative Bayesian criterion, i~". 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.

Inverse sampling is a sampling design in which one continues sampling subjects until one obtains a predetermined number of index subjects. This paper derives a procedure for calculation of the minimum required number of index subjects on the basis of the exact conditional test under inverse sampling
