ss.SLR.rho: Sample size for testing slope for simple linear regression based on R2

Description

Calculate sample size for testing slope for simple linear regression based on R2.

Usage

ss.SLR.rho(power, 
           rho2, 
           n.lower = 2.01, 
           n.upper = 1e+30, 
           alpha = 0.05, 
           verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

power

power.

rho2

square of the correlation between the outcome and the predictor.

n.lower

lower bound of the sample size.

n.upper

upper bound o the sample size.

alpha

type I error rate.

verbose

logical. TRUE means printing sample size; FALSE means not printing sample size.

Value

n

sample size.

res.uniroot

results of optimization to find the optimal sample size.

Details

The test is for testing the null hypothesis \(\lambda=0\) versus the alternative hypothesis \(\lambda\neq 0\) for the simple linear regressions: $$y_i=\gamma+\lambda x_i + \epsilon_i, \epsilon_i\sim N(0, \sigma^2_{e})$$
