NCSS PASS is one of the leading software tools for the design of medical trials and pharmaceutical or medical research in general. PASS provides the right methods for the power analysis of over 650 different statistical tests, confidence intervals and research scenarios.
Fast import of historical data – even in foreign data formats – and the simple interface help you focusing on the real problem: determining just the right sample size for your study.
Getting the right sample size involves just three steps:
- Choose the right study design from the navigator
- Enter the required parameters (typically: noise/standard deviation, relevant effect)
- Interpretation of results (Power, sample size)
That’s how easy NCSS PASS makes power calculation. All results will be visualized by high-level scientific graphs. All graphs are highly customizable and will add an additional level of clarity to your reports.
NCSS PASS offers:
- Calculation of sample size and power
- Validated procedures
- Easy to learn, easy to use
- Professional graphics
- Helpful documentation as part of the output
- Easy export to all commonly used text editors

NCSS and PASS - bundled Power for your Success!
PASS has been fine-tuned for over 20 years, and has become the leading sample size software choice for clinical trial, pharmaceutical, and other medical research. It has also become a mainstay in all other fields where sample size calculation or evaluation is needed. PASS software performs power analysis and calculates sample sizes for over 680 statistical tests.
PASS Overview
PASS is a standalone system
Although it is integrated with NCSS, you do not have to own NCSS to run it. You can use it with any statistical software you want.
PASS is accurate
It has been extensively verified using books and reference articles. Proof of the accuracy of each procedure is included in the extensive documentation.
PASS comes with complete help system documentation
That contains tutorials, examples, annotated output, references, formulas, validation, and complete instructions on each procedure. All procedures are validated with published articles or books.
