About the Workshop
Sample size is an essential component in any research and its estimation is one of the most crucial steps in designing a study. The main purpose of the sample size estimation is to determine the minimum number of subjects/participants required in a study to derive valid conclusions with a prefixed precision, level of significance and power. Sample size refers to the number of participants or observations included in a study. The size of a sample influences the precision of the estimates and the power of the study. Sample size which is too small may produce inconclusive results and too large will waste scarce resources and it could expose more participants than what is necessary. This workshop is proposed to enhance the knowledge of the researchers regarding the importance of sample size and essentials in its estimation along with sample size estimation methods in different scenarios added with hands on training.
