| Format | PDF E-Book File Size: Varies Category: Veterinary Research Methodology Specialty: Biostatistics and Experimental Design DESCRIPTION ----------- This essential reference provides veterinary researchers, clinicians, and students with comprehensive guidance on determining appropriate sample sizes for animal-based research studies. Understanding proper sample size calculation is critical for ensuring statistical validity, ethical use of animals, and meaningful research outcomes. This guide bridges the gap between complex statistical theory and practical application in veterinary and animal science research, offering clear explanations and real-world examples tailored specifically to animal studies. The book addresses the unique challenges inherent in animal research, including variability in animal populations, ethical considerations regarding animal numbers, cost constraints, and regulatory requirements. It covers sample size determination for a wide range of study designs commonly used in veterinary medicine, from clinical trials and epidemiological studies to laboratory experiments and field investigations. Each methodology is explained with step-by-step calculations, practical examples from veterinary literature, and guidance on selecting appropriate statistical tests. Whether planning a small pilot study or a large multi-center clinical trial, this guide equips readers with the knowledge and tools necessary to design scientifically sound and ethically responsible animal studies. It emphasizes the importance of adequate statistical power while promoting the principles of the 3Rs (Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement) in animal research, helping researchers use the minimum number of animals necessary to achieve reliable, reproducible results. KEY FEATURES ------------ • Comprehensive coverage of sample size calculation methods for various study designs including randomized controlled trials, observational studies, survival analyses, and dose-response experiments • Practical guidance on power analysis and determining effect sizes relevant to veterinary and animal science research • Detailed examples drawn from multiple species and veterinary disciplines including companion animals, livestock, laboratory animals, and wildlife • Clear explanations of statistical concepts without requiring advanced mathematical background, making complex calculations accessible to all researchers • Guidance on using statistical software and online calculators for sample size determination • Discussion of ethical considerations and regulatory requirements for animal numbers in research protocols • Troubleshooting advice for common challenges such as dealing with small populations, rare diseases, and limited resources TARGET AUDIENCE --------------- • Veterinary researchers and principal investigators designing animal studies and clinical trials • Graduate students in veterinary medicine, animal science, and comparative biomedical research programs • Veterinary clinicians conducting practice-based research and evidence-based medicine projects • Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) members reviewing research protocols • Biostatisticians and research coordinators working in veterinary and animal research settings INSTANT ACCESS -------------- Download immediately after purchase Compatible with all PDF readers Personal use license included PRICE: HK$220.00 |
