How Do You Determine the Appropriate Sample Size in Toxicological Studies?
Determining the appropriate sample size is crucial for ensuring the reliability and validity of a toxicological study. Factors to consider include:
The expected effect size: Larger effect sizes require smaller sample sizes to detect. The desired level of statistical power: Higher power requires larger samples. The acceptable level of significance (alpha): Lower alpha levels require larger samples. The variability in the data: Higher variability requires larger samples to obtain precise estimates.
