Cochran's Rule for Simple Random Sampling

Abstract: Cochran's rule for the minimum sample size to ensure adequate coverage of nominal 95% con®dence intervals is derived by using the Edgeworth expansion for the distribution function of the standardized sample mean. The rule is extended for con®dence intervals based on the Studentized sample mean. The performance of the rule and Edgeworth approximations for smaller sample sizes are examined by simulation.

“…In research studies, a sample has to be obtained if it is not possible to include all the subjects in the study population [32]. The sample size for this study was computed using Cochran's [35] method through which the minimum sample size of 385 was obtained [35,36].…”

“…23 enables to split sets into 5 classes while respecting the Cochran rule, i.e. 80% of the classes having at least 5 elements [21]. 45 enables to split sets into 9 classes of 5 elements, knowing that 46 is the maximal value that do not discard the GREYC W2 dataset.…”
