pwr (version 1.2-0)

pwr.chisq.test: power calculations for chi-squared tests

Description

Compute power of test or determine parameters to obtain target power (same as power.anova.test).

Usage

pwr.chisq.test(w = NULL, N = NULL, df = NULL, sig.level = 0.05, power = NULL)

Arguments

w

Effect size

N

Total number of observations

df

degree of freedom (depends on the chosen test)

sig.level

Significance level (Type I error probability)

power

Power of test (1 minus Type II error probability)

Value

Object of class '"power.htest"', a list of the arguments (including the computed one) augmented with 'method' and 'note' elements.

Details

Exactly one of the parameters 'w','N','power' and 'sig.level' must be passed as NULL, and that parameter is determined from the others. Notice that the last one has non-NULL default so NULL must be explicitly passed if you want to compute it.
