 ials is based on considerations of the power of a test of a given alternat
 ive hypothesis based on ideas introduced by Neyman and Pearson in 1933. As
  early as 1939\, Jeffreys pointed out that if the true value was unknown\,
  so was the power. Jeffreys suggested that to understand the true power of
  a study the conditional power values should be averaged with respect to t
 heir prior probabilities\, an unconditional power. This idea was taken up 
 in the 1980&rsquo\;s by Spiegelhalter and colleagues and in the early 2000
 s by O&rsquo\;Hagan and Stevens who introduced the concept of assurance.&n
 bsp\; All of this work uses unconditional as opposed to conditional probab
 ilities.&nbsp\;\n\nThe course is based on a book with the same title in th
 e Chapman Hall/CRC Biostatistics Series to appear in May 2022. All partici
 pants for this course will receive a copy of the book.\n\nTopics covered i
