power.t.test: Power calculations for one and two sample t tests
Description
Compute power of test, or determine parameters to obtain target power.
Usage
power.t.test(n = NULL, delta = NULL, sd = 1, sig.level = 0.05, power = NULL, type = c("two.sample", "one.sample", "paired"), alternative = c("two.sided", "one.sided"), strict = FALSE)
Arguments
n
Number of observations (per group)
delta
True difference in means
sd
Standard deviation
sig.level
Significance level (Type I error probability)
power
Power of test (1 minus Type II error probability)
type
Type of t test
alternative
One- or two-sided test
strict
Use strict interpretation in two-sided case
Value
Object of class "power.htest", a list of the arguments
(including the computed one) augmented with method and
note elements.
Details
Exactly one of the parameters n, delta, power,
sd, and sig.level must be passed as NULL, and that
parameter is determined from the others. Notice that the last two have
non-NULL defaults so NULL must be explicitly passed if you want to
compute them.
If strict = TRUE is used, the power will include the probability of
rejection in the opposite direction of the true effect, in the two-sided
case. Without this the power will be half the significance level if the
true difference is zero.
