power_binom_test: Power Calculations for Exact Test of a simple null hypothesis...

In ekstroem/Austin: A collection of groovy power analysis function

Description

Compute power of test, or determine parameters to obtain target power.

Usage

power_binom_test(n = NULL, p0 = NULL, pa = NULL, sig.level = 0.05,
  power = NULL, alternative = c("two.sided", "less", "greater"))

Arguments

n	Number of observations
p0	Probability under the null
pa	Probability under the alternative
sig.level	Significance level (Type I error probability)
power	Power of test (1 minus Type II error probability)
alternative	One- or two-sided test

Details

The procedure uses uniroot to find the root of a discontinuous function so some errors may pop up due to the given setup that causes the root-finding procedure to fail. Also, since exact binomial tests are used we have discontinuities in the function that we use to find the root of but despite this the function is usually quite stable.

Value

Object of class power.htest, a list of the arguments (including the computed one) augmented with method and note elements.

Examples

power_binom_test(n = 50, p0 = .50, pa = .75)      ## => power = 0.971
power_binom_test(p0 = .50, pa = .75, power = .90) ## =>     n = 41
power_binom_test(n = 50, p0 = .25, power = .90, alternative="less")  ## => pa = 0.0954
