Slightly awkward, you cannot set the df independently from n in
power.t.test. You can still cheat it by increasing n and sd (by a
factor of, say, 100 and 10 respectively).

Anyways, the power function for z tests is pretty much the code Ethan
started out with...

Re: [R] Power of test

2006-10-27 Thread Leeds, Mark \(IED\)
I don't know if there is one but if you use the t.test with df greater than 30, 
you will
Get answers very close to that for the normal because the tables get pretty 
close after
df of 30. I guess to be safe you can use set df to some huge #.

Re: [R] Power of test

2006-10-27 Thread ONKELINX, Thierry
A quick answer to your questions:

1. Since nobody knows the "true" delta. I prefer to calculate the power for a 
range of deltas. Most of the time for a range spanning - 2 * expected delta up 
to 2 * expected delta. This gives an idea on how the power changes if delta 
changes.
2. ?power.t.test explains how to calculate n for a given power, delta, sd and 
sig.level. A quote from ?power.t.test: "Exactly one of the parameters 'n', 
'delta', 'power', 'sd', and 'sig.level' must be passed as NULL, and that 
parameter is determined from the others."

Two quick questions,please.

It states that delta = True difference in means.  When the true diff
is unkown, can you use the expected diff for delta.

If you want to know the n (number of observations) off of power.t.test
to have i.e. 80% power, how do you calculate?  Is there a way to do it

power.t.test(n = NULL, delta = NULL, sd = 1, sig.level = 0.05,

(Notice that power.t.test does this more accurately)

For practical purposes, just halve a. Perfectionists may want you to
add pnorm(t1 - t2), so that the total power becomes a when t2 == 0.

BTW: -qnorm(1-a)==qnorm(a)

RSiteSearch("power", restrict="functions") is helpful.  For a comparison
of two means, the most relevant hit is probably:
