Derive the formula/manual calculation
- One-sample 1-sided test, One sample 2-sided test
- Two-sample 2-sided T test ([math]\displaystyle{ n }[/math] is the sample size in each group)
- [math]\displaystyle{ \begin{align} Power & = P_{\mu_1-\mu_2 = \Delta}(\frac{\bar{X}_1 - \bar{X}_2}{\sqrt{\sigma^2/n + \sigma^2/n}} \gt Z_{\alpha /2}) + P_{\mu_1-\mu_2 = \Delta}(\frac{\bar{X}_1 - \bar{X}_2}{\sqrt{\sigma^2/n + \sigma^2/n}} \lt -Z_{\alpha /2}) \\ & \approx P_{\mu_1-\mu_2 = \Delta}(\frac{\bar{X}_1 - \bar{X}_2}{\sqrt{\sigma^2/n + \sigma^2/n}} \gt Z_{\alpha /2}) \\ & = P_{\mu_1-\mu_2 = \Delta}(\frac{\bar{X}_1 - \bar{X}_2 - \Delta}{\sqrt{2 * \sigma^2/n}} \gt Z_{\alpha /2} - \frac{\Delta}{\sqrt{2 * \sigma^2/n}}) \\ & = \Phi(-(Z_{\alpha /2} - \frac{\Delta}{\sqrt{2 * \sigma^2/n}})) \\ & = 1 - \beta =\Phi(Z_\beta) \end{align} }[/math]
Therefore
- [math]\displaystyle{ \begin{align} Z_{\beta} &= - Z_{\alpha/2} + \frac{\Delta}{\sqrt{2 * \sigma^2/n}} \\ Z_{\beta} + Z_{\alpha/2} & = \frac{\Delta}{\sqrt{2 * \sigma^2/n}} \\ 2 * (Z_{\beta} + Z_{\alpha/2})^2 * \sigma^2/\Delta^2 & = n \\ n & = 2 * (Z_{\beta} + Z_{\alpha/2})^2 * \sigma^2/\Delta^2 \end{align} }[/math]
# alpha = .05, delta = 200, n = 79.5, sigma=450 1 - pnorm(1.96 - 200*sqrt(79.5)/(sqrt(2)*450)) + pnorm(-1.96 - 200*sqrt(79.5)/(sqrt(2)*450)) # [1] 0.8 pnorm(-1.96 - 200*sqrt(79.5)/(sqrt(2)*450)) # [1] 9.58e-07 1 - pnorm(1.96 - 200*sqrt(79.5)/(sqrt(2)*450)) # [1] 0.8
Calculating required sample size in R and SAS
pwr package is used. For two-sided test, the formula for sample size is
- [math]\displaystyle{ n_{\mbox{each group}} = \frac{2 * (Z_{\alpha/2} + Z_\beta)^2 * \sigma^2}{\Delta^2} = \frac{2 * (Z_{\alpha/2} + Z_\beta)^2}{d^2} }[/math]
where [math]\displaystyle{ Z_\alpha }[/math] is value of the Normal distribution which cuts off an upper tail probability of [math]\displaystyle{ \alpha }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ \Delta }[/math] is the difference sought, [math]\displaystyle{ \sigma }[/math] is the presumed standard deviation of the outcome, [math]\displaystyle{ \alpha }[/math] is the type 1 error, [math]\displaystyle{ \beta }[/math] is the type II error and (Cohen's) d is the effect size - difference between the means divided by the pooled standard deviation.
# An example from http://www.stat.columbia.edu/~gelman/stuff_for_blog/c13.pdf#page=3
# Method 1.
require(pwr)
pwr.t.test(d=200/450, power=.8, sig.level=.05,
type="two.sample", alternative="two.sided")
#
# Two-sample t test power calculation
#
# n = 80.4
# d = 0.444
# sig.level = 0.05
# power = 0.8
# alternative = two.sided
#
# NOTE: n is number in *each* group
# Method 2.
2*(qnorm(.975) + qnorm(.8))^2*450^2/(200^2)
# [1] 79.5
2*(1.96 + .84)^2*450^2 / (200^2)
# [1] 79.4
And stats::power.t.test() function.
power.t.test(n = 79.5, delta = 200, sd = 450, sig.level = .05,
type ="two.sample", alternative = "two.sided")
#
# Two-sample t test power calculation
#
# n = 79.5
# delta = 200
# sd = 450
# sig.level = 0.05
# power = 0.795
# alternative = two.sided
#
# NOTE: n is number in *each* group
