powerMS: powerMS

In bangtle/PowerRTCRT: Calculates the power for Randomized Trials (RT) and Cluster Randomized Trials (CRT) models.

Description

This function returns the power for multi-site (blocked) trials designs with treatment at level 2 (site level). It addresses the following models:

• Main treatment effects (assuming random site effects) with no additional covariates.

• Main treatment effects (assuming random site effects) with covariate(s) at level 1.

• Main treatment effects (assuming fixed site effects) with no additional covariates.

• Main treatment effects (assuming fixed site effects) with covariate(s) at level 1.

Usage

powerMS(n, J, delta, sigmad, rhoL2, numcovL1 = 0, R2L1 = 0,
  randeff = TRUE, alpha = 0.05)

Arguments

n	Number of subjects in level 1 (individual level).
J	Number of units in level 2 (site level).
delta	Standardized effect size.
sigmad	Variance in treatment effects across sites.
rhoL2	Intraclass correlation (ICC) at level 2.
numcovL1	Number of covariate(s) at level 1. Default value is 0.
R2L1	R-squared at level 1. Default value is 0.
randeff	Random site effects. Default value is FALSE.
alpha	Probability of type I error. Default value is 0.05.
