Actual and simulated metabolomics data. Previously analyzed data, or prior detailed knowledge of the structure of metabolomics data collected from an existing large epidemiologic cohort study (a) can be used to construct simulated data that mimics the data structure observed from real measures (b). These simulated data can be used to estimate statistical power, based on one or more methods of analyses, for planning the design of a future study.
