Sample Sizes for Clinical Trials

Steven A. Julious is a Professor of Medical Statistics at the University of Sheffield. His research interests include clinical trials, clinical trial design, early phase trials, and the development of new methodologies related to clinical trials.

This book assists researchers in their estimation of the sample size for clinical trials. Throughout the book there are detailed worked examples to illustrate both how to do the calculations and how to present them.
