Hi,
I'm try to compute the minimum sample size needed to have at least an 80% of
power, with alpha=0.05. The problem is that empirical proportions are really
small: 0.00154 in one case and 0.00234. These are the estimated failure
proportion of two medical treatments.
Thomas and Conlon (1992) suggested Fisher's exact test and proposed a
computational method, which according to their table gives a sample size of
roughly 20000. Unfortunately I cannot find any software applying their method.
-Does anyone know how to estimate sample size on Fisher's exact test by using R?
-Even better, does anybody know other, maybe optimal, methods for such a
situation (small p1 and p2) and the corresponding R software?
Thanks in advance,
Giulio
