good points of the Third Edition comprise:
- New fabric on pattern dimension calculations and matters in medical trials, and completely new chapters on single-sample info, logistic regression, Poisson regression, regression versions for matched samples, the research of correlated binary information, and strategies for studying fourfold tables with lacking facts
- The addition of many new difficulties, either numerical and theoretical
- Answer sections for numerical difficulties and tricks for tackling the theoretical ones
- A frequentist technique stronger through the inclusion of empirical Bayesian technique the place acceptable

Withdrawal of patient consent, poor compliance, protocol violations, and other threats to validity are risks in conducting any trial, and tend to diminish the effective sample size. Thus building in a realistic cushion in the sample size calculation is a practical and prudent step to take.
