Sample Size Calculation Workshop (June 26)

WHAT IS G*POWER? G*Power is a free statistical software package for power and sample size analysis. It offers point-and-click functionality and covers a wide variety of statistical tests.

In this 1-day workshop, concepts of statistical power and relevant statistical tests are covered in a non-technical way. Designed to be hands-on, the workshop focuses on the practical application of statistical methods. There will be plenty of opportunities to access in-class support.

TOPICS COVERED:

• understanding statistical power and the factors that influence it
• using G*Power to:
           o optimise sample sizes
           o calculate effect sizes
           o graphically display results for power analyses
• t-tests
• Chi-squared tests
• F-tests, including ANOVA fixed effects and repeated measures.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

Researchers and HDRs – especially those involved in the health sciences, life sciences and psychological sciences – or anyone who wants to learn about statistical power and sample size analysis.



PREREQUISITES

A basic knowledge of statistics is helpful but not essential. No prior experience using G*Power is assumed.
