Kaynak eşitlik yöntemi, hayvan çalışmalarında, örneklem büyüklüğünün hesaplanmasında, güç analiz yöntemine alternatif olarak geliştirilen bir yöntemdir. Bu yaklaşım ile örneklem büyüklüğü varyans analizi modelinde yer alan hata serbestlik dereceleri üzerinden hesaplanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, hayvan çalışmalarında oldukça sık kullanılan tek ve iki faktörlü varyans analizi modelleri ele alınmıştır. Bu modeller için gerekli olan minimum ve maksimum örneklem büyüklükleri hesaplatılarak tablolar halinde sunulmuştur. 2 bağımsız grupta (Design 1) toplam minimum 12, maksimum 21 hayvan yeterli iken grup sayısı arttıkça toplam hayvan sayıları bir miktar artmaktadır. Tek faktörlü ve tekrarlı ölçüm deneme tasarımlarında (Design 2), tekrar sayısı arttıkça çalışmaya dahil edilecek hayvan sayısının büyük oranda azaldığı gözlenmiştir. Tüm faktöriyel tasarımlar için (Design 3 ve 4), her bir alt grupta bulunan hayvan sayılarının 2 veya 3 ile yeterli olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Deney hayvanı sayısını artırmadan tekrarlanan ölçümlü deneme düzenleri seçilerek çalışmanın gücü artırılabilir. Bunun yanısıra, Design 1’deki grup sayılarına göre minimum ve maksimum örneklem büyüklükleri için Cohen’in uygun etki büyüklüklerine göre istatistiksel güç değerleri hesaplanmış ve gücün 0.80’nin çok altında olduğu gözlenmiştir. Gücün 0.80 ve üzeri bir değere sahip olması ancak etki büyüklüklerinin çok büyük olması durumunda söz konusudur. Dolayısıyla araştırmacı, bağımsız grup karşılaştırmalarında, örneklem büyüklükleri ile %80 güç düzeyine ulaşabilmek için hipotezlerini daha yüksek etki büyüklükleri ile test edebilir. Hayvan çalışmaları için belirlenmiş bir etki büyüklüğü değerine literatürde rastlanılamamıştır. Çalışmamızda elde edilen sonuçlara göre, 2 grup için 1.2, 1.5 ve 2.0, 3 ve daha fazla grup için ise 0.5, 0.7 ve 0.9 sırasıyla küçük, orta ve büyük etki büyüklükleri olarak alınması önerilebilir.

The Resource Equation Method is a method developed as an alternative to power analysis for the calculation of sample size in animal studies. With this approach, the sample size is calculated based on the error degrees of freedom (DF) in the variance analysis model. In this study, one and two-factor variance analysis models, which are commonly used in animal studies, are discussed. The minimum and maximum sample size required for these models were calculating and presented in tables. While a minimum of 12 and a maximum of 21 animals in total are sufficient for two independent groups (Design 1), and the total number of animals goes up as the number of groups increases. In one factor, repeated-measures experiment design (Design 2), it was observed that the number of animals to be included in the study decreases significantly as the number of repetitions increases. For all factorial designs (Designs 3 and 4), 2 or 3 animals per subgroup were found to be sufficient. Repeat measure experimental designs can be chosen to increase the power of the study without increasing the number of animal/subjects. Statistical power was calculated for different numbers of groups in Design 1, based on their respective minimum and maximum samples sizes and Cohen's effect sizes, and for most cases, power was found to be much lower than 0.80. Statistical power exceeded 0.80 only in the case of very large effect sizes. Therefore, the researcher can test her hypotheses with larger effect sizes to reach 80% power with sample sizes in independent group comparisons. A determined effect size value for animal studies is not available in the literature. According to the results obtained in our study, the effect sizes for the 2 groups are 1.2, 1.5 and 2.0 for 3 or more groups 0.5; 0.7 and 0.9 can be recommended to take as small, medium and large effect sizes, respectively.
