power.prop2: Approximates the power of a 2-group proportion test for planned sample sizes

Description

Computes the approximate power for a test of equal population proportions in a 2-group design for the planned sample sizes. This function requires planning values for both proportions. Set the proportion planning values to .5 for a conservatively low power estimate. The planning value for the proportion difference could be set to the difference of the two proportion planning values or it could be set to a minimally interesting effect size.

Usage

power.prop2(alpha, n1, n2, p1, p2, es)

Value

Returns the approximate power of the test

Arguments

alpha

alpha level for hypothesis test

n1

planned sample size for group 1

n2

planned sample size for group 2

p1

planning value of proportion for group 1

p2

planning value of proportion for group 2

es

planning value of proportion difference

Examples

Run this code
power.prop2(.05, 60, 40, .5, .5, .2)

# Should return:
#     Power
# 0.4998959
