摘要
I suggest for memorization an equation for calculating approximate sample size requirements intended only for a specific set of values (80 per cent power for a two-tailed alpha = 0.05 test) which seems to occur often in biopharmaceutical research. After presenting the formula in terms of variance estimate s2 and effect size d, I derive a few alternative forms and then discuss the accuracy of the approximation and other properties as well as examples of its use.
