corr_ss: Sample size planning for a desired Pearson's correlation confidence interval

Description

[Stable]

Find the required (sufficient) sample size for computing a Pearson correlation coefficient with a desired confidence interval (Olivoto et al., 2018) as follows

n = [ CI_w0.45304^r 2.25152 ]^ - 0.50089

where CI_w is desired confidence interval and r is the correlation coefficient.

Usage

corr_ss(r, CI, verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

r

The magnitude of the correlation coefficient.

CI

The half-width for confidence interval at p < 0.05.

verbose

Logical argument. If verbose = FALSE the code is run silently.
