calculateAchievablep0 {ICC.Sample.Size}R Documentation

Function to calculate largest p0 that the data are powered to test

Description

This function when given the parameters of a study to measure an ICC calculates what is the largest p0 that can be tested for at the specified power, alpha and number of tails.

Usage

calculateAchievablep0(p,k,alpha,tails,power,N)

Arguments

p

The intraclass correlation coefficient obtained in the study. No default.

k

The number of ratings of each subject. If missing default is 2.

alpha

The desired alpha for hypothesis testing. If missing default is 0.05.

tails

The number of trails for hypothesis test. If missing default is 2.

power

The desired power of the hypothesis test. If missing default is 0.80.

N

The number of subjects in the study. No default

Value

Returns a list with the following items:

resultFrame

A data frame consisting of columns p0,N,p,k,alpha,tails and power.
