Thanks a lot for all the suggestions and help.

I could not answer the emails earlier, sorry about that.

The prevalence of exposure in the control group is

19 or 13%

It is a difficult situation compared to the situation where we have to test equal means or equal proportions

I will appreciate any further suggestions

Sami

What's the (assumed) prevalence of exposure in your control group?

Dear All,



I have a case control design with 83 cases and 139 controls.

  I am intersted  in the power of two sided 5% (or 1 sided) test to
detect
an approximate relative risk of less than 4.

Is there any possibility to have a solution using  stata?

Thanks a lot
Sami
