In OptSig: Optimal Level of Significance for Regression and Other Statistical Tests

Optimal significance level calculation for balanced one-way analysis of variance tests

Description

Computes the optimal significance level for the test for balanced one-way analysis of variance tests

Usage

OptSig.anova(K = NULL, n = NULL, f = NULL, p = 0.5, k = 1, Figure = TRUE)

Arguments

K	Number of groups
n	Number of observations (per group)
f	Effect size
p	prior probability for H0, default is p = 0.5
k	relative loss from Type I and II errors, k = L2/L1, default is k = 1
Figure	show graph if TRUE (default); No graph if FALSE

Details

Refer to Kim and Choi (2020) for the details of k and p

For the value of f, refer to Cohen (1988) or Champely (2017)

Value

alpha.opt	Optimal level of significance
beta.opt	Type II error probability at the optimal level

Note

Also refer to the manual for the pwr package

The black curve in the figure is the line of enlightened judgement: see Kim and Choi (2020). The red dot inticates the optimal significance level that minimizes the expected loss: (alpha.opt,beta.opt). The blue horizontal line indicates the case of alpha = 0.05 as a reference point.
