Sample size for a 2-group proportion equivalence test
Description
Computes the sample size in each group (assuming equal sample sizes) required to perform an equivalence test for the difference in population proportions with desired power in a 2-group design. The value of h specifies a range of practical equivalence, -h to h, for the difference in population proportions. The absolute difference in the proportion planning values must be less than h. Equivalence tests often require a very large sample size. Equivalence tests usually use 2 x alpha rather than alpha (e.g., use alpha = .10 rather than alpha = .05).
Usage
size.equiv.prop2(alpha, pow, p1, p2, h)
Arguments
alpha |
alpha level for hypothesis test |
pow |
desired power |
p1 |
planning value of proportion for group 1 |
p2 |
planning value of proportion for group 2 |
h |
upper limit for range of practical equivalence |
Value
Returns the required sample size for each group
Examples
size.equiv.prop2(.1, .8, .30, .35, .15)
# Should return:
# Sample size per group
