R packages - Jun 2007 - R Package: ssanv - Sample size adjustments for nonadherence and variability of input parameters

Hi,

This is a late announcement for a package that has been up on CRAN since Feb
2006.

The package is called ssanv and it calculates sample sizes for two group tests
with adjustments for nonadherence and variability of the input parameters. As an
example, suppose you want a sample size for a two group difference in normal
means but you get your estimate of your variance from a previous study. Then
with this package, you can account for the variability of that variance estimate
in your sample size calculations. The details are described in:



		Fay, MP, Halloran, ME, Follmann, DA. Accounting for Variability in Sample Size
Estimation with Applications to Nonadherence and Estimation of Variance and
Effect Size. Biometrics 2007, 63: 465-474.

Please let me know of any problems with the package or have any comments.

Thanks, 


Mike
