  c = 1,
  level = 0.025,
  designPrior = c("conditional", "predictive", "EB"),

)

Arguments

zo

Numeric vector of z-values from original studies.

c

Numeric vector of variance ratios of the original and replication effect estimates. This is usually the ratio of the sample size of the replication study to the sample size of the original study.

level

Numeric vector of replication success levels. The default is 0.025.

designPrior

Either "conditional" (default), "predictive", or "EB". If "EB", the power is computed under a predictive distribution, where the contribution of the original study is shrunken towards zero based on the evidence in the original study (with an empirical Bayes shrinkage estimator).

alternative

Either "one.sided" (default) or "two.sided". Specifies if the replication success level is one-sided or two-sided. If the replication success level is one-sided, then power calculations are based on a one-sided assessment of replication success in the direction of the original effect estimates.

type

Recalibration type can be either "golden" (default), "nominal" (no recalibration), "liberal", or "controlled". type = "golden" ensures that for an original study just significant at the specified level, replication success is only possible if the replication effect estimate is larger than the original one. See levelSceptical for details about recalibration types.

shrinkage

Numeric vector with values in [0,1). Defaults to 0. Specifies the shrinkage of the original effect estimate towards zero, e.g., the effect is shrunken by a factor of 25% for shrinkage = 0.25. Is only taken into account if the designPrior is "conditional" or "predictive".

h

Numeric vector of relative heterogeneity variances i.e., the ratio of the heterogeneity variance to the variance of the original effect estimate. Default is 0 (no heterogeneity). Is only taken into account when designPrior = "predictive" or designPrior = "EB".

strict

Logical vector indicating whether the probability for replication success in the opposite direction of the original effect estimate should also be taken into account. Default is FALSE. Only taken into account when alternative = "two.sided".

Details

powerReplicationSuccess is the vectorized version of .powerReplicationSuccess_. Vectorize is used to vectorize the function.

Value

The power for replication success.

## larger sample size in replication (c > 1)
powerReplicationSuccess(zo = p2z(0.005), c = 2, level = 0.025, designPrior = "conditional")
powerReplicationSuccess(zo = p2z(0.005), c = 2, level = 0.025, designPrior = "predictive")

## smaller sample size in replication (c < 1)
powerReplicationSuccess(zo = p2z(0.005), c = 1/2, level = 0.025, designPrior = "conditional")
powerReplicationSuccess(zo = p2z(0.005), c = 1/2, level = 0.025, designPrior = "predictive")

powerReplicationSuccess(zo = p2z(0.00005), c = 2, level = 0.05, 
                        alternative = "two.sided",  strict = TRUE, shrinkage = 0.9)
powerReplicationSuccess(zo = p2z(0.00005), c = 2, level = 0.05, 
                        alternative = "two.sided", strict = FALSE, shrinkage = 0.9)
