Statistical Power for Two Sample Proportion with Difference Sample Sizes

Description

The power calculation is based on the arcsine transformation of the proportion (see Cohen (1988))

Arguments

Among sample size 1, sample size 2 effect size, significance level, and power, one and only one can be left blank.

Sample Size

Provide the number of participants. Multiple sample sizes can be provided in two ways. First, multiple sample sizes can be supplied separated by white spaces, e.g., 100 150 200 will calculate power for the three sample sizes. A sequence of sample sizes can be generated using the method s:e:i with s denoting the starting sample size, e as ending sample size, and i as the interval. For example, 100:150:10 will generate a sequence 100 110 120 130 140 150.

By default, the sample size is 100.

One of Sample size can be specified with multiple values.

Effect Size

The effect size to be used. Multiple effect sizes or a sequence of effect sizes can be supplied using the same method for sample size. By default, the value is 0.1.

The effect size can be calculated from proportion by clicking the “Show” button and then inputting the proportion directly.

Significance Level (alpha)

The significance level (Type I error rate) for power calculation withe the default 0.05.

Power

The power of the test.

H1

Specifying the alternative hypothesis, can be “two.sided” (default), “greater” or “less”

Power curve

Whether to generate the power curve.

Note

A note (less than 200 characters) can be provided to provide basic information on the analysis.
