In statpsych: Statistical Methods for Psychologists

Sample size for a between-subjects proportion linear contrast confidence interval

Description

Computes the sample size in each group (assuming equal sample sizes) required to estimate a linear contrast of population proportions with desired confidence interval precision in a between-subjects design. Set the proportion planning values to .5 for a conservatively large sample size.

For more details, see Section 2.22 of Bonett (2021, Volume 3)

Usage

size.ci.lc.prop.bs(alpha, p, w, v)

Arguments

alpha	alpha level for 1-alpha confidence
p	vector of proportion planning values
w	desired confidence interval width
v	vector of between-subjects contrast coefficients

Value

Returns the required sample size for each group
