ISV.Equivalence: Test for Similarity of Intra-Subject Variabilities

In TrialSize: R Functions for Chapter 3,4,6,7,9,10,11,12,14,15 of Sample Size Calculation in Clinical Research

Test for Similarity of Intra-Subject Variabilities

Description

the ratio = within-subject variance of treatment T / within-subject variance of treatment R

Ho: the ratio \ge \delta or the ratio \le \frac{1}{\delta}

Ha: \le \frac{1}{\delta} < the ratio < \delta

Usage

ISV.Equivalence(alpha, beta, sigma1, sigma2, m, margin)

Arguments

alpha	significance level
beta	power = 1-beta
sigma1	within-subject variance of treatment 1
sigma2	within-subject variance of treatment 2
m	for each subject, there are m replicates.
margin	margin=delta, the true ratio of sigma1/sigma2
