This paper proposes new methodology for calculating the optimal sample size when a hypothesis test between two binomial proportions is conducted. The problem is addressed from the Bayesian point of view. Following the formulation by DasGupta and Vidakovic (1997, J. Statist. Plann. Inference 65, 335-347), the posterior risk is determined and set not to exceed a prespecified bound. A second constraint deals with the likelihood of data not satisfying the bound on the risk. The cases when the two proportions are equal to a fixed or to a random value are examined. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
