bonferroni.1m.ssc {rPowerSampleSize}

Sample Size Computation with Single Step Bonferroni Method in the Context of Multiple Continuous Endpoints.

Description

This function computes the sample size for an analysis of multiple test with a single step Bonferroni procedure.

Usage

bonferroni.1m.ssc(mean.diff, sd, cor, power = 0.8, alpha = 0.05,
alternative = "two.sided")

Arguments

mean.diff

vector of the mean differences of the m endpoints between both groups under the alternative hypothesis.

sd

vector of the standard deviations of the m endpoints. These are assumed identical for both groups.

cor

correlation matrix between the endpoints. These are assumed identical for both groups.

power

value which corresponds to the chosen power.

alpha

value which correponds to the chosen Type-I error rate bound.

alternative

character string specifying the alternative hypothesis, must be one of "two.sided" (default), "greater" or "less".

Value

Sample size

The required sample size.
