Abstract

Nonparametric bootstrap statistical inference is a robust computer intensive method for generating estimates of statistical variability for which formulae are not known or asymptotic assumptions are not met. A SAS macro that implements simple nonparametric bootstrap statistical inference is presented with an example. The program code is easily generalized to any SAS procedure which includes a BY statement, and to cases of clustered data.

Sample size estimation for GEE method for comparing slopes in repeated measurements data.

Sample size calculation is an important component at the design stage of clinical trials. Controlled clinical trials often use a repeated measurement design in which individuals are randomly assigned to treatment groups and followed-up for measurements at intervals across a treatment period of fixed duration. In studies with repeated measurements, one of the popular primary interests is the comparison of the rates of change in a response variable between groups. Statistical models for calculating sample sizes for repeated measurement designs often fail to take into account the impact of missing data correctly. In this paper we propose to use the generalized estimating equation (GEE) method in comparing the rates of change in repeated measurements and introduce closed form formulae for sample size and power that can be calculated using a scientific calculator. Since the sample size formula is based on asymptotic theory, we investigate the performance of the estimated sample size in practical settings through simulations.
