Does "N=16" mean they've approved this test after such limited testing? I think my high school stats class told me not to trust studies where N < 30.

- __blockcipher__ 7y agoI think the acceptable value for N depends on the size of the effect being studied. For example if it’s a massive effect, maybe 10 people is sufficient, but if it’s tiny enough to get swallowed up in statistical noise until you have 1000, then you need N >= 1000
