size.ci.cv

Computes an approximate sample size required to estimate a population
coefficient of variation (CV) with desired confidence interval precision.
Set the CV planning value to the largest value within a plausible range
for a conservatively large sample size.

Implements confidence interval and sample size methods that
are especially useful in psychological research. The methods can be
applied in 1-group, 2-group, paired-samples, and multiple-group designs
and to a variety of parameters including means, medians, proportions,
slopes, standardized mean differences, standardized linear contrasts
of means, plus several measures of correlation and association.
Confidence interval and sample size functions are given for single
parameters as well as differences, ratios, and linear contrasts of
parameters. The sample size functions can be used to approximate the
sample size needed to estimate a parameter or function of parameters
with desired confidence interval precision or to perform a variety of
hypothesis tests (directional two-sided, equivalence, superiority,
noninferiority) with desired power. For details see: Statistical Methods
