Reasonable Assumptions

E. C. Hedberg

At this point in the volume, the general approach to power analysis should be clear. Each type of power analysis (finding power, finding sample size, finding effect size) makes assumptions about part of the puzzle to compute the target assumption. To find power, we assume an effect size and sample size. To find the sample size, we assume a level of power and an effect size. To find (the minimum) effect size, we assume power and a sample size. For all these, we also always assume a level of Type I error and type of test (but usually this is the uncontroversial α=0.05 with two tails). In ...
