Percentile

##### Power calculations for two samples (different sizes) t-tests of means

Compute power of tests or determine parameters to obtain target power (similar to as power.t.test).

Keywords
htest
##### Usage
pwr.t2n.test(n1 = NULL, n2= NULL, d = NULL, sig.level = 0.05, power = NULL,
alternative = c("two.sided",
"less","greater"))
##### Arguments
n1

Number of observations in the first sample

n2

Number of observations in the second sample

d

Effect size

sig.level

Significance level (Type I error probability)

power

Power of test (1 minus Type II error probability)

alternative

a character string specifying the alternative hypothesis, must be one of "two.sided" (default), "greater" or "less"

##### Details

Exactly one of the parameters 'd','n1','n2','power' and 'sig.level' must be passed as NULL, and that parameter is determined from the others. Notice that the last one has non-NULL default so NULL must be explicitly passed if you want to compute it.

##### Value

Object of class '"power.htest"', a list of the arguments (including the computed one) augmented with 'method' and 'note' elements.

##### Note

'uniroot' is used to solve power equation for unknowns, so you may see errors from it, notably about inability to bracket the root when invalid arguments are given.
