CSurvey 2.0 (Cluster surveys) http://www.ph.ucla.edu/epi/csurvey.html

FreeCalc (Epidemiological calculator for planning and analysis of surveys to detect disease or prove freedom from disease. Calculates sample size requirements based on diagnostic test sensitivity and specificity, taking population size into account, and analyses the results of such surveys) http://www.ausvet.com.au/content.php?page=software#freecalc

G Power (Statistical power analyses for the most common statistical tests t-tests; post hoc, a priori and compromise power analyses) http://www.psycho.uni-duesseldorf.de/abteilungen/aap/gpower3/

Herdacc [NOTE DIRECT LINK TO PROGRAM] (Program for calculating herd (aggregate) sensitivity and specificity for a wide range of values of individual level sensitivity and specificity) http://www.vetschools.co.uk/EpiVetNet/files/herdacc.exe

PS (Interactive program for performing power and sample size calculations. It can be used for studies with dichotomous, continuous, or survival response measures. The alternative hypothesis of interest may be specified either in terms of differing response rates, means, or survival times, or in terms of relative risks or odds ratios) http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/twiki/bin/view/Main/PowerSampleSize
