sig.level |
(optional) Desired significance level. Default value is 0.05. |
power |
(optional) Desired level of power. Default value is 0.80. |
result |
The amount of data that will be output to the user (default = "all"). The following are the three output options the user may specify:

Extra interactions to pass in. In order to change the effect size of a specific interaction an interaction effect may be added to the function. It must take the form: int# = int.eff.#. |
Acceptable effect size character string values and their numeric equivalents are: "small" (0.01), "med" (0.06), and "large" (0.14).
Sample size recommendations are rounded up to the nearest integer. More detailed examples on n.multiway can be viewed in the vignette.

The following sample size recommendations are for each treatment and all possible interactions.
Sample sizes are calculated independently using the estimated effect size to achieve
the desired power level.
Desired power: 0.80
Significance level: 0.05
Effect size used in calculations: Cohen's f-squared
Cutoffs: small = 0.01, med = 0.06, large = 0.14
Treatment Effect Size Total n per cell
R 0.123 64 8
C 0.215 48 6
R*C 0.079 136 17
The following is the largest recommended total sample size.
