b4dp {samplesize4surveys}

Statistical power for a hyphotesis testing on a difference of proportions

Description

This function computes the power for a (right tail) test of difference of proportions.

Usage

b4dp(N, n, P1, P2, D, DEFF = 1, conf = 0.95, plot = FALSE)

Arguments

N

The population size.

n

The sample size.

P1

The value of the first estimated proportion.

P2

The value of the second estimated proportion.

D

The value of the null effect.

DEFF

The design effect of the sample design. By default DEFF = 1, which corresponds to a simple random sampling design.

conf

The statistical confidence. By default conf = 0.95.

plot

Optionally plot the power achieved for an specific sample size.

Details

We note that the power is defined as:

1-\Phi(Z_{1-\alpha} - \frac{(D - (P_1 - P_2))}{\sqrt{\frac{DEFF}{n}(1-\frac{n}{N})(P_1Q_1+P_2Q_2)}})

Value

The power of the test.
