FDRsampsize (version 1.0)

power.ranksum: Compute power of the rank-sum test

Description

Compute power of rank-sum test;Uses formula of Noether (JASA 1987)

Usage

power.ranksum (n, alpha, p)

Arguments

n

sample size (scalar)

alpha

p-value threshold (scalar)

p

Pr (Y>X), as in Noether (JASA 1987)

Value

Details

In most applications, the null effect size will be designated by p = 0.5, which indicates that Thus, in the example below, the argument null.effect=0.5 is specified in the call to fdr.sampsize.

Examples

 power.ranksum        # show the power function
 res=fdr.sampsize(fdr=0.1,
