Dear Biomch-L readers,
The software described in the following announcement may be
useful for biomechanical studies. Most of us are familiar
(unfortunately) with the situation where statistical analysis
could not provide a good answer to the research question. This
software helps you to prevent such problems by considering
statistical analysis in the planning stage. The software is in
the public domain. I have not tried this, so comments are
welcome.

STPLAN 4.0
STPLAN performs power, sample size, and related calculations needed to
plan studies. Parameters of a test include those necessary to
describe the distributions under the null and alternative hypotheses,
sample sizes, significance levels, and power. Given values for all
but one parameter, STPLAN will calculate the value of that one
parameter.
The following testing situations are covered by STPLAN:
Studies with Outcomes Distributed According to the Binomial Distribution
One-sample test
Two-sample test
Two-sample above and below the median
Fisher's exact
Matched pairs test for equality of proportions
Conservative versus expensive treatment
Two-sample test in which one group is a historic control
K-sample
Case-control
Sample size correction for loss of subjects over time
Studies with Outcomes Distributed According to the Poisson Distribution
One-sample test
Two-sample test
Studies with Outcomes Distributed According to the Normal Distribution
One-sample test
Two-sample test, equal variances
Two-sample test, unequal variances
Two-sample log-normal
Studies with Outcomes Distributed According to the Exponential Distribution
One-sample test
Two-sample test
Studies whose Outcome is a Set of Survival Times.
Randomized clinical trial for exponential survival times
Comparison with a historic control - exponential survival
Randomized clinical trial - two different hazard rates depending on time
Studies whose Outcome is the Correlation Coefficient
One-sample test
MAJOR CHANGES IN 4.0
The major changes are: (1) the ability to produce tables of any one
quantity as a function of any other, and (2) a complete report format
that allows exact reconstruction of the calculation. In addition
three new testing calculations have been added.
A TASTE OF THE OUTPUT OF THE NEW VERSION
***** Two-sample Binomial (Arcsin approximation) *****
These calculations are for a two sided test.
Probability of an event in group 1 ...... .200
Probability of an event in group 2 ...... .400
Significance level ...................... .050
Number of equal
trials in each group Power
10.000 .166
20.000 .287
30.000 .402
40.000 .507

60.000 .678
70.000 .744
80.000 .799

This is an self-extracting file containing an MSDOS executable
version of Stplan plus documentation. The file was created with a
licensed copy of PkZip. STPLAN was compiled using the Watfor compiler
and so requires a 386 (or better) machine to run.
