Abstract: svysampsi is an immediate command that estimates the finite population corrected sample size for a simple random survey in which the primary variable under study is dichotomous. The user inputs the following: population size, the proportion of the population expected to respond positively (negatively) to the question, the margin of error (sampling error), the confidence level, and optionally, the expected response rate. svysampsi can be modified to accommodate more complex survey designs.
