## Reviews

### "Best sample size and power analyzer software" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *26 February 2021* | Research | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Sample size calculation is one of the most important task of statistician in designing of research. You need to know how many people is needed to recruit in study. Sample size calculation depends on the statistical methods that will be used in data analyzing stage. As you know the set of possible statistical algorithm is huge and no-one can do all of them by hand. Moreover, sometimes there is not a simple formula and the problem of sample size calculation need to use simulations to solve. Hence, having an advanced and easy to use software such as NCSS PASS (Power and Sample Size) can rescue statistician and in fact his/her company and their research studies.
> 
> **Cons**: If you only need very basic statistical analyzing methods such as confidence interval and comparing two sample for means or proportions,  you don't need to spend money to buy this commercial software.
> 
> It is a must have software for research in academia and industry.
