Sample size to estimate a binary outcome using stratified random sampling
Sample size to estimate a binary outcome using stratified random sampling.
epi.ssstrataestb(strata.n, strata.Py, epsilon.r, nfractional = FALSE, conf.level = 0.95)
strata.n |
vector of integers, the number of individual listing units in each strata. |
strata.Py |
vector of numbers, the expected proportion of individual listing units with the outcome of interest for each strata. |
epsilon.r |
scalar number, the maximum relative difference between the estimate and the unknown population value. |
nfractional |
logical, return fractional sample size. |
conf.level |
scalar number, the level of confidence in the computed result. |
A list containing the following:
strata.sample |
the estimated sample size for each strata. |
strata.total |
the estimated total size. |

## EXAMPLE 1: ## Dairies are to be sampled to determine the proportion of herd managers ## using foot bathes. Herds are stratified according to size (small, medium, ## and large). The number of herds in each strata are 1500, 2500, and 4000 ## (respectively). A review of the literature indicates that use of foot bathes ## on farms is in the order of 0.50, with the probability of usage increasing ## as herds get larger. How many dairies should be sampled? strata.n <- c(1500, 2500, 4000) strata.Py <- c(0.50, 0.60, 0.70) epi.ssstrataestb(strata.n, strata.Py, epsilon.r = 0.20, nfractional = FALSE, conf.level = 0.95) ## A total of 55 herds should be sampled: 11 small, 18 medium, and 28 large.
