动物分组每组6只,审稿人认为样本量小,提出如何计算样本的数目? 统计功效如何?(How did the authors calculate the sample size? How about the statistical power? )
动物实验不能再重复了,但我该如何回答呢?谢谢! 返回小木虫查看更多
好了,这个就是你的切入点了,看看别人的文章是怎么说明这个样本量的问题的。然后引经据典说明审稿人就行了。下面给你一个模板吧。
Response: Thanks for the comments. We have determined the sample size based on an comprehensive review of the existing literature. As listed in references XX-XX, the sample sizes adopted ranged from 5-10. Here, we selected the sample size to be 5 to be consistent with these published results. This also allows us to compare our results with others on a consistent basis. With regard to the statistical power, the authors have to admit that the sample size might be inadequate to conduct such a analysis. However, we would like to assure you that this does not affect the results and their significance ,
6个数据点确实太少了。你当时是怎么确定只用6个的?
看其他文献一般是5-10只动物

不好意思,应该是such an analysis..
谢谢你的回复参考,不知道你熟悉如何计算统计功效么?
不好意思,这个不是我的专长,你去网上查查吧。应该有tutorial
我也遇到了同样的审稿意见。。。不知道楼主最后怎么回的?跪求!
