TABLE 2—
Software | Functionality |
PASSa | Sample size calculations for GRTs comparing 2 means (noninferiority, equivalence, or superiority), 2 proportions (noninferiority, equivalence, or superiority), 2 Poisson rates, and a log-rank test |
nQueryb | Comparison of 2 means, proportions, and rates |
Statac | User-provided command clustersampsi; can compute sample size for continuous, binary, and rate outcomes for 2-sided tests in equal-sized arms |
Rd | Package CRTSize for comparing 2 means or 2 binary proportions |
SASe | No built-in functionality at this time |
Calculator | For some simple designs, parameter values can be plugged into formulas provided in textbooks |
Note. GRT = group-randomized trial; PASS = Power and Analysis Software.
