Abstract: sampsi_mcc} calculates the power and sample size for a matched case control study. The theory behind this command is described in Dupont (1988) Power Calculations for Matched Case-Control Studies, Biometrics. The calculations require the usual alpha and beta values, a possible alternative odds ratio (the null is 1), phi the correlation of exposure between pairs in the case-control set (the default is 0.2) and the probability of exposure in the controls.
