Paper
Equal Marginal Power for Co-Primary Endpoints
Authors
Simon Bond
Abstract
The choice of sample size in the context of co-primary endpoints for a randomised trial is discussed. Current guidance can leave endpoints with unequal marginal power. A method is provided to achieve equal marginal power by using the flexibility provided in multiple testing procedures. A comparison is made to several choices of rule to determine the sample size, in terms of the study design and its operating characteristics.
