StudySize is
a user friendly Windows application to calculate the sample size
needed in a study, survey, or experiment. It
can be used to study a range of scenarios when the plan is to test,
give an estimate, or calculate a confidence interval for the parameter
of interest.
It comprises
a wide range of procedures with examples and explanations of the parameters in a help menu. There
is also a separate pdf document with the examples for printout.
The results are presented as tables or graphs and summarized in
text to be copied and pasted into slides or other documents.
The calculations
in StudySize have been validated against the articles they are based
on as well as against other sample size software.
