β¦ Synopsis
Procedures are developed in this paper for sample size calculations for planning a group sequential longitudinal trial with various correlation structures, using a test statistic based on generalized estimating equations (Lee, Kim and Tsiatis) and group sequential boundaries based on type I error spending functions (Lan and DeMets).

## Abstract Health care utilization and outcome studies call for hierarchical approaches. The objectives were to predict major complications following percutaneous coronary interventions by health providers, and to compare Bayesian and nonβBayesian sample size calculation methods. The hierarchical
This paper presents a sample size formula for testing the equality of k (\*2) survival distributions using the Tarone-Ware class of test statistics in the presence of non-proportional hazards, time dependent losses, non-compliance and drop-in. This method extends the derivation by Lakatos of a sampl
