power.matched: Power Calculations for Matched-Pairs Designs in Microarray Studies

Description

This routine computes the individual power value for a matched-pairs design having n treatment units and n matched control units. This power value is the expected fraction of truly differentially expressed genes that will be correctly declared as differentially expressed by the tests.

Usage

power.matched(ER0, G0, absMu1, sigmad, n)

Arguments

ER0

mean number of false positives.

G0

anticipated number of genes in the experiment that are not differentially expressed.

absMu1

absoulte mean difference in log-expression between treatment and control conditions as postulated under the alternative hypothesis H1.

sigmad

anticipated standard deviation of the difference in log-expression between matched treatment and control units. The relation between the standard deviation of the difference (sigmad) and the experimental error standard deviation (sigma) is sigmad=sqrt(2)/sigma.

n

the sample size for each group.

Value

• power
  power.
• psi1
  non-centrality parameter.
