However, In most studies the sample size is determined effectively by two factors: (1) the nature of data analysis proposed and (2) estimated response rate. For example, if you plan to use a linear regression a sample size of 50+ 8K is required, where K is the number of predictors.

Answer:

well first of all you need two target groups, both of them need to have a certain amount of individuals or objects who will cooperate with you, then you expose both groups with the sample with different amounts of it and see which one has more effect for example, is a weaker dose stronger than a high dose or is the high dose has the same effect has a low dose and so on and so forth.
