Control Groups - How big?
Message posted by Michele Zuniga (via 24.25.195.14) on October 11, 2001 at 1:55 PM (ET)

When conducting research using an experimental group and a control group, is there a formula that dictates the size of the control group?

I would say that having the control group the same size as the experimental group is a good idea.
