power.anova.test: Power Calculations for Balanced One-Way Analysis of Variance Tests

Description

Compute power of test or determine parameters to obtain target power.

Usage

power.anova.test(groups = NULL, n = NULL,
                 between.var = NULL, within.var = NULL,
                 sig.level = 0.05, power = NULL)

Arguments

groups

Number of groups

n

Number of observations (per group)

between.var

Between group variance

within.var

Within group variance

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 groups, n, between.var, power, within.var, and sig.level must be passed as NULL, and that parameter is determined from the others. Notice that sig.level has non-NULL default so NULL must be explicitly passed if you want it computed.

Examples

power.anova.test(groups = 4, n = 5, between.var = 1, within.var = 3)
# Power = 0.3535594

power.anova.test(groups = 4, between.var = 1, within.var = 3,
                 power = .80)
# n = 11.92613

## Assume we have prior knowledge of the group means:
groupmeans <- c(120, 130, 140, 150)
power.anova.test(groups = length(groupmeans),
                 between.var = var(groupmeans),
                 within.var = 500, power = .90) # n = 15.18834
