TOSTER (version 0.8.3)

powerTOSTpaired: Power Paired Sample t-test

Description

Power analysis for TOST for dependent t-test (Cohen's dz). This function is no longer maintained please use power_t_TOST.

Usage

powerTOSTpaired(alpha, statistical_power, N, low_eqbound_dz, high_eqbound_dz)
powerTOSTpaired.raw(
  alpha,
  statistical_power,
  low_eqbound,
  high_eqbound,
  sdif,
  N
)

Value

Calculate either achieved power, equivalence bounds, or required N, assuming a true effect size of 0. Returns a string summarizing the power analysis, and a numeric variable for number of observations, equivalence bounds, or power.

Arguments

alpha

alpha used for the test (e.g., 0.05)

statistical_power

desired power (e.g., 0.8)

N

number of pairs (e.g., 96)

low_eqbound_dz

lower equivalence bounds (e.g., -0.5) expressed in standardized mean difference (Cohen's dz)

high_eqbound_dz

upper equivalence bounds (e.g., 0.5) expressed in standardized mean difference (Cohen's dz)

low_eqbound

lower equivalence bounds (e.g., -0.5) expressed in raw mean difference

high_eqbound

upper equivalence bounds (e.g., 0.5) expressed in raw mean difference

sdif

standard deviation of the difference scores
