Sample Size Calculators

If you are a clinical researcher trying to determine how many subjects to include in your study or you have another question related to sample size or power calculations, we developed this website for you. Our approach is based on Chapters 5 and 6 in the 4th edition of Designing Clinical Research (DCR-4), but the material and calculators provided here go well beyond an introductory textbook on clinical research methods.
