I want to know the sample size (with online calculator) for my study with one group pre-post study design. The proportion for expected improvement after the study is 40%.
See the following sample size calculator. https://statulator.com/SampleSize/ss2PM.html
You will need an estimate of the standard deviation for the pre-post change. This usually requires pilot work using subjects similar to those you would use in the "real" study.
Dear prof Gordon, you said that SD estimation is needed, but my data is dichotomus with yes no answer and outcome is the proportion of improvement so what can I do then?
