minEffect.SLR {powerMediation} | R Documentation |
Calculate minimal detectable slope given sample size and power for simple linear regression.
minEffect.SLR(n, power, sigma.x, sigma.y, alpha = 0.05, verbose = TRUE)
n |
sample size. |
power |
power for testing if \lambda=0 for the simple linear regression y_i=\gamma+\lambda x_i + \epsilon_i, \epsilon_i\sim N(0, \sigma_{e}^2). |
sigma.x |
standard deviation of the predictor. |
sigma.y |
standard deviation of the outcome. |
alpha |
type I error rate. |
verbose |
logical. TRUE means printing minimum absolute detectable effect; FALSE means not printing minimum absolute detectable effect.
|
The test 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})
lambda.a |
minimum absolute detectable effect. |
res.uniroot |
results of optimization to find the optimal minimum absolute detectable effect. |
The test is a two-sided test. Code for one-sided tests will be added later.
