wp.poisson | R Documentation |
This function is for Poisson regression models. Poisson regression is a type of generalized linear models where the outcomes are usually count data. Here, Maximum likelihood methods is used to estimate the model parameters. The estimated regression coefficent is assumed to follow a normal distribution. A Wald test is used to test the mean difference between the estimated parameter and the null parameter (tipically the null hypothesis assumes it equals 0). The procedure introduced by Demidenko (2007) is adopted here for computing the statistical power.
wp.poisson(n = NULL, exp0 = NULL, exp1 = NULL, alpha = 0.05,
power = NULL, alternative = c("two.sided", "less", "greater"),
family = c("Bernoulli", "exponential", "lognormal", "normal", "Poisson",
"uniform"), parameter = NULL, subdivisions=200L,
i.method=c("numerical", "MC"), mc.iter=20000)
n |
Sample size. |
exp0 |
The base rate under the null hypothesis. It always takes positive value. See the article by Demidenko (2007) for details. |
exp1 |
The relative increase of the event rate. It is used for calculatation of the effect size. See the article by Demidenko (2007) for details. |
alpha |
significance level chosed for the test. It equals 0.05 by default. |
power |
Statistical power. |
alternative |
Direction of the alternative hypothesis ( |
family |
Distribution of the predictor ( |
parameter |
Corresponding parameter for the predictor's distribution. The default is 0.5 for "Bernoulli", 1 for "exponential", (0,1) for "lognormal" or "normal", 1 for "Poisson", and (0,1) for "uniform". |
subdivisions |
Number of divisions for integration |
i.method |
Integration method |
mc.iter |
Number of iterations for Monte Carlo integration |
