| Macro Name | %ESDPowNested |
| Description |
This program computes detectable Effect Size for a pre-specified power or for a pre-specified effect size between two treatment conditions for group study within a longitudinal setting, assuming equal group size. Effect size is defined as in Cohen (1988):ef = (mu1 - mu2)/ sqrt[(var1 + var2)/2] |
| Macro Parameters |
alpha = significant level Power = detectable power (if this value is specified, the macro is used to calculate the effect size difference for a given power. otherwise, leave it blank.) EFD = detectable effect size difference (if this value is specified, the macro is used to calculate the power for a given effect size difference. otherwise, leave it blank.) Test = 1 or 2, where 1 = one-sided test; 2 = two-sided test Parameters for groups: ICC = intraclass correlation; group = group size; Ngrp1 = sample size for group 1 (= sample size for group 2); Parameters for longitudinal study design: Nrep = number of repeated measures in f/u assessments; CorrCoef = correlation coefficient; MissRate = missing rate over entire study period; startp = 0.01; change this value if error appears in the log file; file; |
