size.ci.slope.gen: Sample size for a slope confidence interval in a general statistical model

Description

Computes the sample size required to estimate a slope coefficient with desired confidence interval precision in any general statistical model. This function requires a standard error estimate for the slope of interest from a prior or pilot study and the sample size that was used in the prior or pilot study.

Usage

size.ci.slope.gen(alpha, se, n0, w)

Value

Returns the required sample size

Arguments

alpha

alpha level for 1-alpha confidence

se

standard error of slope from prior/pilot study

n0

sample size used in prior/pilot study

w

desired confidence interval width

Examples

Run this code
size.ci.slope.gen(.05, 3.15, 50, 5)

# Should return:
#  Sample size
#          305
