A Bayesian sample size calculator

Project description

BayesSizer

PyPI version Build Status

BayesSizer is a Bayesian sample size calculator. It helps data scientists and experimenters determine the required sample size for A/B tests using Bayesian inference.

Features

  • Computes Bayesian-based sample sizes for A/B testing
  • Supports configurable Type I (α) and Type II (β) error rates
  • Designed for data science and experimentation teams
  • Lightweight, simple, and efficient

Installation

Install BayesSizer from PyPI:

pip install bayessizer

Usage

from bayessizer import bayesian_sample_size

# Example: Calculate required sample size with default parameters
sample_size = bayesian_sample_size(alpha=0.05, beta=0.2, effect_size=0.1, std_dev=1)
print(f"Required sample size per group: {sample_size}")

Parameters

  • alpha (float): Type I error rate (default: 0.05)
  • beta (float): Type II error rate (default: 0.2)
  • effect_size (float): Minimum detectable effect size (default: 0.1)
  • std_dev (float): Standard deviation of the population (default: 1)

Example Output

Required sample size per group: 385
