Published correlational effect sizes in social and developmental psychology
The distribution of effect sizes may offer insights about the research done and reported in a scientific field. We have evaluated 12 412 manually collected correlation effect sizes (Sample 1) and 31 157 computer-extracted correlation effect sizes (Sample

Methodological considerations for the design and implementation of reliable and valid web surveys
This article examines practical epidemiology principles related to the design and implementation of web surveys. Six practice-oriented items are critically examined: 1) The study question; 2) The target population; 3) Study population needed; 4) Sampling

Sample size calculation: Basic principles
Addressing a sample size is a practical issue that has to be solved during planning and designing stage of the study. The aim of any clinical research is to detect the actual difference between two groups (power) and to provide an estimate of the ...

Tips for troublesome sample-size calculation [PDF]
Properly set sample size is one of the important factors for scientific and persuasive research. The sample size that can guarantee both clinically significant differences and adequate power in the phenomena of interest to the investigator, without ...

A review of Bayesian perspectives on sample size derivation for confirmatory trials [PDF]
Sample size derivation is a crucial element of the planning phase of any confirmatory trial. A sample size is typically derived based on constraints on the maximal acceptable type I error rate and a minimal desired power. Here, power depends on the unknown true effect size.

The belief is widespread that studies are unethical if their sample size is not large enough to ensure adequate power. The authors examine how sample size influences the balance that determines the ethical acceptability of a study: the balance between the burdens that participants accept and the clinical or scientific value that a study can be expected

A noniterative sample size procedure for tests based on t distributions [PDF]
A noniterative sample size procedure is proposed for a general hypothesis test based on the t distribution by modifying and extending Guenther's (1981) approach for the one sample and two sample t tests. The generalized procedure is employed to determine the sample size for treatment comparisons using the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and the mixed ...
