Decision theoretic approach for sample size estimation. (Requires calculus.) In a decision theoretic approach, two functions are specified:
L (n) = Loss or “cost” of a bad estimate
C (n) = Cost of taking the sample
Suppose that for some constants c0, c1, and k,
What sample size n minimizes the total cost L (n) + C (n)? |
