Power for testing slope for simple linear regression

Description

Calculate power for testing slope for simple linear regression.

Usage

power.SLR.rho(n, rho2, alpha = 0.05, verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

n sample size.
rho2 square of the correlation between the outcome and the predictor.
alpha type I error rate.
verbose logical. TRUE means printing power; FALSE means not printing power.

Details

The power is for testing the null hypothesis \lambda=0 versus the alternative hypothesis \lambda\neq 0 for the simple linear regressions:

y_i=\gamma+\lambda x_i + \epsilon_i, \epsilon_i\sim N(0, \sigma^2_{e})

Value

power power for testing if b_2=0.
delta \sqrt{n}/\sqrt{1/\rho^2-1}.

Note

The test is a two-sided test. Code for one-sided tests will be added later.
