Sample size for a 2-group proportion ratio confidence interval

Description

Computes the sample size in each group required to estimate a ratio of proportions with desired confidence interval precision in a 2-group design. Set R = 1 for equal sample sizes.

Usage

size.ci.ratio.prop2(alpha, p1, p2, r, R)

Arguments

alpha	alpha level for 1-alpha confidence
p1	planning value of proportion for group 1
p2	planning value of proportion for group 2
r	desired upper to lower confidence interval endpoint ratio
R	n2/n1 ratio

Value

Returns the required sample size for each group

Examples

size.ci.ratio.prop2(.05, .2, .1, 2, 1)

# Should return:
#   n1  n2
#  416 416

size.ci.ratio.prop2(.05, .2, .1, 2, .5)

# Should return:
#   n1  n2
#  704 352
