A method for estimating the sample size required to attain a predefined linkage decision quality (type I and type II errors) is proposed using the linkage test power estimate developed by Ginsburg et al. [(1996) Genet Epidemiol 13:355-366]. The method is applicable for samples of arbitrarily structu

Multiple comparisons are commonly made in epidemiologic and genetic research. How to appropriately adjust for multiple comparisons remains a controversial issue. This note demonstrates, however, that large increases in the number of comparisons has a limited e!ect on the sample size required to main
I provide sample size formulae and tables for the design of studies that compare two or more coefficients of inter-observer agreement or concordance. Such studies may arise, for example, when interest centres on assessment of how measures of inter-observer agreement vary across different patient sub
When the role of a new prognostic factor is investigated, careful planning of an appropriate study is required. This includes an assessment of the power of the study in terms of sample sizes. An adequate analysis of the independent prognostic e!ect of a new factor has to be adjusted for the existing
Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) is based on quantitative digital image analysis of fluorescence intensities from metaphase chromosomes. High-quality CCD cameras are commonly used for image acquisition, but the minimal requirements of CCD cameras have not been determined. We first evaluated m
## Abstract NOETHER (1987) proposed a method of sample size determination for the WilcoxonβMannβWhitney test. To obtain a sample size formula, he restricted himself to alternatives that differ only slightly from the null hypothesis, so that the unknown variance o^2^ of the MannβWhitney statistic ca
