Description

This function computes the power for a (right tail) test of difference of means

Usage

1
b4dm(N, n, mu1, mu2, sigma1, sigma2, D, DEFF = 1, conf = 0.95, plot = FALSE)

Arguments

N

The population size.

n

The sample size.

mu1

The value of the estimated mean of the variable of interes for the first population.

mu2

The value of the estimated mean of the variable of interes for the second population.

sigma1

The value of the estimated variance of the variable of interes for the first population.

sigma2

The value of the estimated mean of a variable of interes for the second population.

D

The value of the null effect.

DEFF

The design effect of the sample design. By default DEFF = 1, which corresponds to a simple random sampling design.

conf

The statistical confidence. By default conf = 0.95.

plot

Optionally plot the power achieved for an specific sample size.

Details

We note that the power is defined as:

1-Φ(Z_{1-α} - \frac{ (D - (μ_1 - μ_2))}{√{\frac{1}{n}(1-\frac{n}{N})S^2}})

where

S^2 = DEFF (σ_1^2 + σ_2^2

Value

The power of the test.
