This study introduces a new sample size calculation method for clustered binary data, crucial for accurate binomial proportion testing. The optimal weighting method offers smaller sample sizes and greater robustness compared to traditional approaches.

Area of Science:

  • Biostatistics
  • Statistical Methods
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Clustered binary data analysis requires careful sample size calculation.
  • Traditional methods for estimating binomial proportions in clustered data include equal weights to clusters or units.
  • The performance of these weighting systems is influenced by intra-cluster correlation and varying cluster sizes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and evaluate a sample size calculation method for binomial proportions with dependent binary observations within clusters.
  • To compare the performance of different weighting systems (equal cluster weights, equal unit weights, optimal weights) for sample size calculation.
  • To assess the robustness of sample size calculations to misspecified input parameters.

Main Methods:

  • Derivation of sample size formulas for three distinct estimators: equal cluster weights, equal unit weights, and optimal weights.
  • Application of these methods to calculate sample size for a periodontal diagnostic test's sensitivity.
  • Conducting simulation studies to evaluate the finite sample performance of the estimators.

    • Main Results:

    • The optimal weighting method generally requires equal or smaller sample sizes compared to equal weight methods.
    • The optimal estimator demonstrates greater robustness to misspecification of input parameters.
    • Simulation results validate the theoretical performance of the proposed sample size calculation methods.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed optimal weighting method provides an efficient and robust approach for sample size calculation in clustered binary data.
    • Accurate sample size determination is critical for reliable statistical inference, especially in diagnostic test evaluations.
    • The findings have implications for study design in fields dealing with correlated binary outcomes.
