calculate_c: Calculates exact value of C

In yelleKneK/SMSD: Sequential Methods for Study Design

Calculates exact value of C

Description

This function replicates the function in Mukhopadhyay \& de Silva (chapter 6, section 2) for the exact sample size given the variance, significance level, and confidence interval width for a fixed width confidence interval for the population mean of normal random variables.

Usage

calculate_c(var, alpha, d)

Arguments

var	The population variance.
alpha	The chosen Type I error rate (complement of the confidence coefficient).
d	Half of the confidence interval width. That is the confidence interval is 2d wide.

Value

The optimal sample size $C$, the “optimal fixed sample size required."
