Current software and textbooks present procedures to estimate power and sample size for sign tests that only apply to settings where positive (i.e., X=1) or negative (i.e., X=-1), but not neutral (i.e., X=0) outcomes occur. However, many studies analyzed by sign tests involve the more general setting where significant amounts of neutral outcomes can occur. This paper illustrates extension of existing power/sample size approaches and software that have been developed for matched binary responses (McNemar's discordant pairs) to general sign tests with neutral outcomes occurring. An application is made to a recent study that the author collaborated on.
