Sample Size for One-Sample Poisson Test

Calculate the exposure or sample size you need to test a Poisson rate against a reference rate. Provide the baseline rate, expected rate, overdispersion, and choose between normal and exact methods to balance alpha and power.

Best suited for

  • Event or incident rates compared to a target benchmark
  • Reliability or safety studies using time-at-risk
  • Situations where overdispersion needs to be considered

Inputs to configure

  • Reference rate (lambda0) and expected rate (lambda1)
  • Alpha, power, and sidedness
  • Overdispersion factor and exposure per subject
