View source: R/negbin.pow.R

Description

The function provides estimate of power for given sample size when there is over-dispersion. The data is simulated from Negative Binomial distribution.

Usage

1
negbin.pow(n, lambda1, k, disp, alpha, seed, numsim, monitor, sig)

Arguments

n

A vector of positive integers representing the sample size

lambda1

Mean count under the null distribution. It can be a vector.

k

Fold change desired under the alternative distribution. It can be a vector.

disp

The over-dispersion parameter. 1 represent no pver-dispersion and values above one represent over-dispersion.

alpha

Type I error rate: a value between 0 and 1. It can be a vector.

seed

Value of seed to ensure reproducibility of results.

numsim

Number of simulations. 1000 is recommended.

monitor

If TRUE, it allows us to view the progress of the function.

sig

Number of significant digits after decimal.

Details

The test statistic used is the scaled difference. Please contact the authors for more details on algorithm.

Value

Mean.Null

Mean Count under Null distribution.

Effect.Size

Fold Change Under the alternate hypothesis.

Disp.Par

Over-dispersion parameter.

Power

Estimated Power.

Std.Err

Standard Error.

Note

The alternative ecological parameterization is used for Negative binomial distribution.
