Area of Science:

  • Statistics
  • Genetics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Medical and biological studies often involve classifying observations by two factors, with categories like 2x3 tables.
  • Accurate statistical planning, analysis, and interpretation are crucial, especially in genetic association studies involving single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a methodology for determining the minimum sample size required to detect dependence in 2x3 tables using Fisher's exact test.
  • To provide numerical tools for calculating sample sizes based on desired power, significance level, and effect size.

Main Methods:

  • Developing methodology for sample size determination in 2x3 contingency tables under Fisher's exact test.
  • Assuming neither margin is fixed, only the grand total (N) is known in advance.

  • Providing accessible computational tools for sample size calculations.

    • Main Results:

    • A solution to the sample size problem for exact tests in 2x3 tables is presented.
    • Numerical tools are available for researchers to determine necessary sample sizes.
    • The methodology is demonstrated through application to three empirical studies.

    Conclusions:

    • This solution enables experimentalists to design efficient sampling strategies.
    • Researchers can better assess statistical support for hypotheses and understand result repeatability.
    • Accurate sample size planning enhances the reliability of findings in genetic and biological research.
