sim_beta: Calculate Beta Error and Statistical Power from Simulated Samples

Description

Estimates the statistical power of a study by comparing variation under null and alternative hypotheses. For instance, if the beta error is 0.25, there is a 25% chance of failing to detect a real difference, and the power of the study is \(1 - \beta\), meaning 0.75 in this case.

Usage

sim_beta(data, alpha = 0.05)

Value

A list of class "ecocbo_beta", containing:

  • $Power: a data frame with power and beta estimates across different sampling efforts (m sites and n samples).

  • $Results: a data frame with pseudo-F estimates for simH0 and simHa.

  • $alpha: significance level for Type I error.

Arguments

data

An object of class "ecocbo_data" that results from applying prep_data() to a community dataset.

alpha

Numeric. Significance level for Type I error. Defaults to 0.05.

Details

The function displays a summary matrix with estimated power values for various sampling efforts.
