The real world constraints of time and money are non trivially involved in sample size decisions. CLT may be invoked but I do not give the benefit of the doubt

The real world constraints of time and money are non trivially involved in sample size decisions. CLT may be invoked but I do not give the benefit of the doubt to studies being announced at this point
- firesteelrain 1y agoYou are right that time, cost, and feasibility often drive sample size decisions more than statistical ideals. My point was just that when researchers cite a specific number (like 300), there’s often a statistical basis tied to confidence levels and margin of error. Skepticism is healthy since not all studies follow best practices
