    Area of Science:

    • Biostatistics
    • Statistical Methods

    Background:

    • Comparing two independent proportions is crucial in various research fields.
    • Existing methods for sample size calculation often assume equal sample sizes.
    • Unequal sample sizes can impact statistical power and efficiency.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and present an approximation method for calculating sample sizes when comparing two independent proportions with unequal sample sizes.
    • To compare the proposed method with existing sample size calculation techniques.
    • To provide guidance on selecting appropriate ratios for unequal sample sizes.

    Main Methods:

    • The study derives an approximation formula for sample sizes based on the ratio of two sample sizes (k).
    • The proposed method is evaluated against the established Fleiss, Tytun, and Ury (1980) method.
