power.prop1.test: Power Calculations for One-Sample Test for Proportions

In MKpower: Power Analysis and Sample Size Calculation

Description

Compute the power of the one-sample test for proportions, or determine parameters to obtain a target power.

Usage

power.prop1.test(n = NULL, p1 = NULL, p0 = 0.5, sig.level = 0.05, 
                             power = NULL, 
                             alternative = c("two.sided", "less", "greater"),
                             cont.corr = TRUE, tol = .Machine$double.eps^0.25)

Arguments

n	number of observations (per group)
p1	expected probability
p0	probability under the null hypothesis
sig.level	significance level (Type I error probability)
power	power of test (1 minus Type II error probability)
alternative	one- or two-sided test. Can be abbreviated.
cont.corr	use continuity correction
tol	numerical tolerance used in root finding, the default providing (at least) four significant digits.

Details

Exactly one of the parameters n, p1, power, and sig.level must be passed as NULL, and that parameter is determined from the others. Notice that sig.level has a non-NULL default so NULL must be explicitly passed if you want it computed.

The computation is based on the asymptotic formulas provided in Section 2.5.1 of Fleiss et al. (2003). If cont.corr = TRUE a continuity correction is applied, which may lead to better approximations of the finite-sample values.

Value

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

Note

The documentation was adapted from power.prop.test.
