PASS provides sample size calculations for over 370 more scenarios than any other sample size software and is the premier software tool for determining the needed sample size or analyzing the power of a study. PASS is used extensively in clinical trial planning, grant proposals, pharmaceutical research, statistical and biostatistical consulting, health research, and many other areas of study planning and study evaluation.
Sample Size & Power
PASS software provides sample size tools for over 1030 statistical test and confidence interval scenarios - more than double the capability of any other sample size software. Each tool has been carefully validated with published articles and/or texts.
