- Can you explain what this analysis means in layman's terms? - We calculated that a target sample size of 3626, which was based on anticipated baseline 90-day mortality of 22% and a noninferiority margin of no more than 4 percentage points, would give the trial 80% power, at a one-sided alpha level of 2.5%, accounting for a maximum of 5% loss to follow-up and for early stopping rules for three interim analyses.-arrow_forwardCan you help me understand this analysis? A 95.7% confidence interval is shown for the intention-to-treat analysis (accounting for alpha spending in interim analyses), and 95% confidence intervals are shown for the other two analyses. The widths of the confidence intervals have not been adjusted for multiplicity. The dashed line indicates the noninferiority margin of 4 percentage points.arrow_forwardTitle: Analyzing Customer Satisfaction for UnileverAs a member of Unilever's Customer Experience Management team, you are responsible forevaluating customer satisfaction levels and monitoring competitive moves.
