Questions for week 2
Fragment of a discussion from Course talk:STAT 550
Q1: Have previous studies been performed about this (or a similar) topic? If so, could you point me towards a paper?
Q2: How do you plan on recruiting participants? Is it possible that some participants will have something in common (e.g. two members of the same family)
Q3: To elaborate on Danny's drop-out question, do you know why participants drop out? (Is it random? Death? The treatment not working?) Do you expect the drop-out rate to be larger in one group than the other? Is there a certain period after which drop-out increases? (e.g. Christmas)
