For 2 of 11 VOCs (1,4-dichlorobenzene and tetrachloroethylene), between-child variability was greater than within-child variability, a condition that tends to complicate efforts to distinguish differences between individuals with a limited number of measurements and a constrained sample size.
The reason is that dropping treatments at the interim analysis can be viewed as a constrained sample size reestimation problem (with or as the only options for treatment i), and this cannot produce a larger maximum of the conditional type 1 error rate than the unconstrained optimization problem.

While that is an interesting future direction, here we focus on finding a single strong sub-network with constrained sample size to demonstrate the potential for using classifier-based algorithms to learn network structure.
Due to the constrained sample size while only studying females, Mann-Whitney U tests (exact) were used in assessing the relation between menstrual cycle-phase and CPM-scores.
We demonstrate that this approach produces reliable and limited predictions of network architecture under constrained sample sizes, with the potential to generate more efficient network models for complex systems.
Within the nested sampling algorithm, a constrained sampling step is performed.
I'm not drawing a sweeping, sociological conclusion from a sample size of two.
When would a small sample size be problematic?
So it ends up being a huge sample size.
A minimum sample size of n > 5 was used.
Further research with a larger sample size is needed.
