Description: | Purpose: This project extended and validated methods estimating power for different definitions of power and for several multiplicity adjustments commonly used in confirmatory analyses so that researchers who are planning randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with any number of common designs and who will adjust for multiple tests across multiple outcomes will be able to estimate power, minimum detectable effect sizes (MDESs), and sample sizes. Project Activities: After mathematically extending the previous work to a broader range of designs, assumptions, and analyses, the research team conducted Monte Carlo simulations to gauge the functioning and quality of the new equations. The research team developed software for conducting the multiplicity adjustments. The team also tested the usability of the software and make changes as needed to ensure that it is user-friendly. Key Outcomes: The key outcomes are reported in Hunter, K., Miratrix, L. and Porter, K. 2024 and summarized below.
