pwrss.chisq.gofit: Goodness-of-Fit or Independence (Chi-square Test)

Description

Calculates statistical power or minimum required sample size (only one can be NULL at a time) for Chi-square goodness-of-fit or independence test.

Usage

pwrss.chisq.gofit(p1 = c(0.50, 0.50),
                  p0 = .chisq.fun(p1)$p0,
                  w = .chisq.fun(p1)$w,
                  df = .chisq.fun(p1)$df,
                  n = NULL, power = NULL,
                  alpha = 0.05, verbose = TRUE)

Value

parms

list of parameters used in calculation

test

type of the statistical test (Chi-square test)

df

degrees of freedom

ncp

non-centrality parameter

power

statistical power \((1-\beta)\)

n

total sample size

Arguments

p1

a vector or matrix of cell probabilities under alternative hypothesis

p0

a vector or matrix of cell probabilities under null hypothesis. Calculated automatically when p1 is specified. The default can be overwritten by the user via providing a vector of the same size or matrix of the same dimensions as p1

w

effect size. Computed from p1 and p0 automatically; however, it can be any of Cohen's W, Phi coefficient, Cramer's V, etc. when specified by the user. Phi coefficient is defined as sqrt(X2/n) and Cramer's V is defined as sqrt(X2/(n*v)) where v is min(nrow - 1, ncol - 1) and X2 is the chi-square statistic

df

degrees of freedom. Defined as (ncells - 1) if p1 is a vector, and as (nrows - 1) * (ncols - 1) if p1 is a matrix

n

total sample size

power

statistical power \((1-\beta)\)

alpha

probability of type I error

verbose

if FALSE no output is printed on the console
