In statpsych: Statistical Methods for Psychologists

Sample size for a 2-group standardized mean difference confidence interval

Description

Computes the sample size per group required to estimate two types of population standardized mean differences (unweighted standardizer and single group standardizer) with desired confidence interval precision in a 2-group design. Set the standardized mean difference planning value to the largest value within a plausible range for a conservatively large sample size. Set R = 1 for equal sample sizes.

Usage

size.ci.stdmean2(alpha, d, w, R)

Arguments

alpha	alpha level for 1-alpha confidence
d	planning value of standardized mean difference
w	desired confidence interval width
R	n2/n1 ratio

Value

Returns the required sample size per group for each standardizer
