ss_aipe_omega_squared_sensitivity: Sensitivity Analysis for Sample Size Planning From the AIPE Perspective for Omega Squared

Description

Quantifies how much misspecification of the population \(\omega^2\) distorts an AIPE-based sample size plan. The planner ss_aipe_omega_squared solves for the smallest N that yields an expected CI width below the target at the planning value. Here we generate G datasets from a balanced one-way ANOVA with population \(\omega^2 = \)true_omega_squared and df_effect + 1 groups at the planner-recommended N, compute the noncentral F confidence interval on each replication via ci_omega_squared, and summarize the realized widths and coverage of true_omega_squared.

Usage

ss_aipe_omega_squared_sensitivity(
  true_omega_squared = NULL,
  estimated_omega_squared = NULL,
  df_effect,
  width,
  specified_N = NULL,
  conf_level = 0.95,
  assurance = NULL,
  G = 1000,
  print_iter = FALSE,
  filename = NULL
)

Value

A data.frame with rows for mean / median / SD of the realized \(\hat\omega^2\) and interval width, the proportion of intervals at or below width, tail-specific and overall empirical non-coverage of true_omega_squared, and the input echoes, including assurance (present only when an assurance was supplied).

Arguments

true_omega_squared

Population \(\omega^2\) (the data generating value); in \([0, 1)\).

estimated_omega_squared

\(\omega^2\) used to plan the study; supply this or specified_N but not both.

df_effect

Numerator degrees of freedom for the omnibus F, equal to the number of groups minus 1.

width

Desired full width of the confidence interval on \(\omega^2\).

specified_N

Total sample size to evaluate (incompatible with estimated_omega_squared).

conf_level

Confidence level (default 0.95).

assurance

Optional assurance probability passed to ss_aipe_omega_squared when resolving the planned sample size.

G

Number of Monte Carlo replications (default 1000).

print_iter

Logical. Print iteration index per replication.

filename

Optional path for a comma separated file recording every replication (the sample \(\hat\omega^2\), the two confidence limits, the interval width, and two indicators of whether the interval missed true_omega_squared below or above): nothing is written when filename is NULL (the default), a new file with a header row is created otherwise, an existing file at that path is appended to, and a throwaway run should point it at tempfile(fileext = ".csv").

Examples

Run this code
# Well-specified: planner used omega^2 = 0.10, truth is 0.10.
# G is kept small here so the example runs quickly; raise it for a
# stable sensitivity estimate.
set.seed(113)
ss_aipe_omega_squared_sensitivity(
  true_omega_squared      = 0.10,
  estimated_omega_squared = 0.10,
  df_effect = 2, width = 0.10,
