- bryanrasmussen 2y agoa medical dataset with 50 people may or may not be a low number depending on the rarity and the profile of people being affected by the disease. But as it happens low counts for studies are often a problem so maybe I shouldn't be so snippy, that said I would say yes, soft sciences often require more people in studies to be significant, but that is just my opinion on it.
