摘要：

In this article, we consider the probability of improved accuracy in parameter estimation due to increases in sample size. For a range of scenarios we quantify this probability and develop a simple sample size formula to guarantee a certain level of improvement with a given probability. Our results lead to insights into sample size requirements and how they are related to the parameters governing the sampling process.
