Description

pwr_t_test_2pop_hetero computes the power and the sample size for testing difference of means of two normal populations with different and unknown variances.

Usage

1
2
pwr_t_test_2pop_hetero(sigma1, sigma2, delta, delta0 = 0, n1 = NULL,
n2 = NULL, pwr = NULL, alternative = "two.sided", sig_level = 0.05)

Arguments

sigma1

standard deviation for the first population

sigma2

standard deviation for the second population

delta

populational difference of means

delta0

difference of means under null hypothesis

n1

number of observations (sample size) for the first population

n2

number of observations (sample size) for the second population

pwr

power of test 1 + β (1 minus type II error probability)

alternative

a character string specifying the alternative hypothesis, must be one of "two.sided" (default), "greater" or "less"

sig_level

significance level (Type I error probability)

Details

Exactly one of the parameters samples sizes ('n1' and 'n2') and 'pwr' must be passed as NULL, and that parameter is determined from the other. Notice that the last one has non-NULL default so NULL must be explicitly passed if you want to compute it.

#' The parameters 'sigma1, 'sigma2' and 'delta' are required. The effect size is computed internally.

Value

pwr_t_test_2pop_hetero returns a list with the following components:

sigma1

standard deviation for the first population

sigma2

standard deviation for the second population

delta

difference of means

delta0

difference of means under null hypothesis

sig_level

significance level

power_sampleSize

A tibble with sample size, n1 for the first population and n2 for the second population
