In PSpower: Sample Size and Power for Propensity Score Weighted Estimators

PSpower 2.0.0

This is a major revision with a fully rewritten codebase, new theoretical foundations, and substantially expanded functionality. The API is not backward-compatible with version 0.1.1.

power_ps() — sample size and power for the PS-weighted Hájek estimator with continuous or binary outcomes. Supports four estimands (ATE, ATT, ATC, ATO) via closed-form (ATE) or numerical integration (ATT, ATC, ATO, custom tilting functions). Accounts for the confounder coefficient ρ² and the Bhattacharyya overlap coefficient φ.
power_cox() — sample size and power for the PS-weighted partial likelihood estimator in a Cox proportional hazards model with time-to-event outcomes. Supports randomized trials (robust sandwich variance or Schoenfeld formula) and observational studies (ATE via IPW; ATO and ATT via Monte Carlo design-effect adjustment).
overlap_coef() — estimates the Bhattacharyya overlap coefficient φ from fitted propensity scores and a treatment indicator, or analytically from Beta distribution parameters.
S3 print(), summary(), and plot() methods for both power_ps and power_cox result objects. Scalar inputs produce a formatted single-scenario summary; vector inputs produce a multi-scenario grid with a five-number distribution summary and a ggplot2-based sensitivity plot.

The previous single PSpower() function has been replaced by power_ps() and power_cox(), covering a broader set of estimands and outcome types.
Survival outcomes (time-to-event) are now supported.
The overlap coefficient φ replaces the previous parameterization.
The four WATE estimands (ATE, ATT, ATC, ATO) are all supported for continuous/binary outcomes; ATE, ATT, and ATO for survival.
