Sample size planning for a desired Pearson's correlation confidence interval

Description

Find the required (sufficient) sample size for computing a Pearson correlation coefficient with a desired confidence interval (Olivoto et al., 2018) as follows \loadmathjax \mjsdeqnn = \left[ \fracCI_w0.45304^r \times 2.25152 \right]^\rm - 0\rm.50089

where \mjseqnCI_w is desired confidence interval and \mjseqnr is the correlation coefficient.

Usage

corr_ss(r, CI, verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

r	The magnitude of the correlation coefficient.
CI	The half-width for confidence interval at p < 0.05.
verbose	Logical argument. If verbose = FALSE the code is run silently.
