In jasonwgriffin/metapower: Power Analysis for Meta-Analysis

metapoweR

The primary goal of metapower is to compute statistical power for meta-analyses. Currently, metapower has the following functionality:

Computation of statistical power for:

1. Summary main effects sizes
2. Test of homogeneity for between-group variance (for Random-effects models).
3. Test of homogeneity for within-study variance
4. Subgroup Analyses
5. Moderator Analysis

metapower can currently handle the following designs and effect sizes:

1. Standardized mean difference: Cohen’s d
2. Correlation between two continuous variables: Correlation Coefficient (via Fisher’s r-to-z transformation)
3. Probability of Success/Failure: Odds Ratio

Installation

You can install the released version of metapower from CRAN with:

install.packages("metapower")

And the development version from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("jasonwgriffin/metapower")

Shiny Application

Check out the simple and easy to use shiny application

Example

library(metapower)
my_power <- mpower(effect_size = .3, study_size = 20, k = 10, i2 = .50, es_type = "d")
print(my_power)
