poiss.samp: Estimates sample sizes for desired power using simulation from Poisson distribution

Description

The function provides estimate of sample size for given power when there is over-dispersion. The data is simulated from Poisson distribution.

Usage

poiss.samp(power, lambda1, k, alpha, seed, numsim, sig)

Arguments

power

A vector of values between 0 and 1 representing desired power.

lambda1

Mean count under the null distribution. It can be a vector.

k

Fold change desired under the alternative distribution. It can be a vector.

alpha

Type I error rate: a value between 0 and 1. It can be a vector.

seed

Value of seed to ensure reproducibility of results.

numsim

Number of simulations. 1000 is recommended.

sig

Number of significant digits after decimal.

Value

Power.Expected

Desired Power.

Mean.Null

Mean Count under Null distribution.

Effect.Size

Fold Change Under the alternate hypothesis.

N.est

Estimated sample size.

Power.est

Estimated Power.

Std.Err

Standard Error.

Details

The test statistic used is the scaled difference. Please contact the authors for more details on algorithm.

Examples

power = c(0.7,0.8);lambda1=3;k=seq(2,3,0.5);
alpha=0.01;seed = 20;numsim=100
sample.poiss <- poiss.samp(power,lambda1,k,alpha,seed,numsim)
sample.poiss
# Another example (takes longer to run)
#power = seq(0.7,0.9,0.05);lambda1=3;k=seq(2,3,0.5);
#alpha=0.005;seed = 20;numsim=1000
#sample.poiss <- poiss.samp(power,lambda1,k,alpha,seed,numsim)
#sample.poiss
