This study introduces a new method for power and sample size estimation in correlation analysis for clustered designs. The approach simplifies complex calculations by eliminating nuisance parameters, offering robust estimates for research.

Area of Science:

  • Biostatistics
  • Clinical Trials Methodology
  • Psychosocial Research

Background:

  • Power and sample size estimation are critical in research, yet current methods primarily focus on regression models.
  • Correlation analysis is often more suitable for concurrent events, particularly in psychosocial research, but lacks dedicated power analysis tools.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and discuss a method for power and sample size estimation specifically for correlation analysis in clustered study designs.
  • To address the limitations of existing power analysis techniques by focusing on correlation rather than regression.

Main Methods:

  • The proposed approach utilizes the asymptotic distribution of correlated Pearson-type estimates.
  • A surrogacy-type assumption is introduced to eliminate nuisance parameters, simplifying power analysis.

Main Results:

  • Simulation results indicate that the proposed method provides robust power and sample size estimates.
  • The approach successfully enables power analysis using only parameters of interest, overcoming data limitations.

Conclusions:

  • The developed method offers a practical solution for power and sample size estimation in correlation analysis for clustered data.
  • This work enhances the toolkit for researchers conducting psychosocial studies and other fields utilizing correlation analysis.
