Course Description

The capstone. Size a randomized trial, then turn everything you have computed into a clear, defensible sample-size paragraph for your protocol, and learn the pitfalls that sink otherwise good studies.

Who this level is for

Learners completing the Sample Size journey who want a protocol-ready sample-size section, and anyone who must justify a study's numbers to reviewers or funders. Recommended after Levels 1-4.

What you'll learn

  • How to identify the inputs for a superiority parallel RCT with a continuous outcome
  • A hands-on RCT demo (superiority or non-inferiority) using riskcalc
  • The full checklist of what to specify before you press Calculate
  • How to write the sample-size section of a protocol, in the style reviewers expect
  • The common pitfalls, and how to recognise when a study needs a biostatistician

You finish with: A protocol-ready sample-size paragraph for your own study.
