This seminar will give more, and more varied, information about sample size planning than last year's introductory overview of power analysis. Although the presenter will provide a brief review of hypothesis testing and the basics of power at the beginning of the seminar, people who are wholly unaware of power analysis may find this seminar harder to follow. Emphasis will be given to different kinds of sample size estimation for different situations, the notion of effect size and how to estimate it, and some strategies to improve power.
