Abstract When the measurement of outcome varies within studied subjects and the cost of additional subjects is high, taking more than one measurement for each subject constitutes a useful alternative to increase the power or to reduce the total cost of the study. In this paper, I present sample size formulae for repeated measurements in dichotomous data under different situations. I also discuss optimal sample allocation for repeated measurements.
