Determination
of the appropriate sample size is a crucial part of study design. The sample
size must be chosen correctly to allow a study to arrive at valid conclusions
for any given scientific question. A study that is too small may produce
inconclusive results, while a study that is too large will waste scarce
resources.
nQuery Advisor
assists you in choosing an appropriate sample size for your research studies.
nQuery Advisor also helps you to provide the standard deviation and effect size
information which you need to make sample size and power computations.
The nQuery
Advisor program is designed by professional statisticians with many years of
experience in study design. They have created the program so that research
investigators, statisticians, data analysts and clinical researchers can
compute appropriate sample sizes easily and efficiently.
nQuery
Advisor's intuitive spreadsheet-style tables and editable plots make it very
easy to evaluate a range of different scenarios so that you can optimize your
budgetary requirements. It even generates a sample size justification statement
that can be incorporated into your final report.
With detailed
guide-cards to assist you with every table, assistance in computing appropriate
standard deviation and effect sizes and comprehensive literature references and
formulas, nQuery Advisor provides unrivalled guidance and support though the
sample size calculation process.
nQuery Advisor
is used extensively throughout many of the world's leading pharmaceutical and
biotechnology companies and importantly is also widely used at FDA and other
leading regulatory agencies and research centers. As choosing the correct and
most appropriate sample size is a key element in the design of a study, nQuery
Advisor is definitely worth a closer look.
Now nQuery Advisor can create the randomization list for your study
Because generating randomization lists or schedules is an
essential part of most clinical trials, nQuery Advisor offers a menu for the
creation of randomization lists for basic, advanced and complex designs. In
just a few minutes, you can easily specify and obtain a randomization list for
your study. Importantly, the automated option for mixed block sizes provides
assistance in maintaining the double blind.
Use nQuery Advisor's Study Goal and Design Box to select the
correct table for your study.
Quickly evaluate a range of scenarios with nQuery Advisor's
tables and plots.
nQuery Advisor writes up the sample size decision. This
unique feature makes it easy to report the sample size decision in the correct
language and format.
