R Documentation

Sample size determination for replication success based on effect size equivalence

Description

This function computes the standard error required to achieve replication success with a certain probability and based on effect size equivalence of original and replication effect size. Effect size equivalence is defined by the confidence interval for the difference between the original and replication effect sizes falling within an equivalence region around zero defined by the specified margin.

Usage

ssdEqu(level, dprior, power, margin, searchInt = c(0, 2))

Arguments

level	1 - confidence level of confidence interval for effect size difference
dprior	Design prior object
power	Desired probability of replication success
margin	The equivalence margin > 0 for the symmetric equivalence region around zero
searchInt	Interval for numerical search over replication standard errors

Value

Returns an object of class "ssdRS". See ssd for details.
