Second, we propose frequentist confidence bands and Bayesian credible intervals to sequentially evaluate the quantity of interest. Third, we propose a tool to predict the stopping time (defined as the number of charts reviewed) at which the chart review would be complete.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>We observe that Bayesian credible intervals prove to be tighter than its frequentist confidence band counterparts. Moreover, we observe that simple random sampling often performs similarly to Neyman's sampling.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>We conclude that random sampling in connection with Bayesian credible intervals allows for an efficient validation of a response of interest for both binary and continuous outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":10362,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Epidemiology","volume":"18 ","pages":"573511"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2026-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13090130/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147721678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
