statsmodels.stats.proportion.samplesize_proportions_2indep_onetail(diff, prop2, power, ratio=
1
, alpha=0.05
, value=0
, alternative='two-sided'
)[source]¶ Required sample size assuming normal distribution based on one tail
This uses an explicit computation for the sample size that is required to achieve a given power corresponding to the appropriate tails of the normal distribution. This ignores the far tail in a two-sided test which is negligible in the common case when alternative and null are far apart.
- Parameters:¶
- diff
float
Difference between proportion 1 and 2 under the alternative
- prop2
float
proportion for the reference case, prop2, proportions for the first case will be computing using p2 and diff p1 = p2 + diff
- power
float
Power for which sample size is computed.
- ratio
float
Sample size ratio, nobs2 = ratio * nobs1
- alpha
float
in
interval
(0,1) Significance level, e.g. 0.05, is the probability of a type I error, that is wrong rejections if the Null Hypothesis is true.
- value
float
Currently only value=0, i.e. equality testing, is supported
- alternative
str
, ‘two-sided’ (default
), ‘larger’, ‘smaller’ Alternative hypothesis whether the power is calculated for a two-sided (default) or one sided test. In the case of a one-sided alternative, it is assumed that the test is in the appropriate tail.
- diff
- Returns:¶
- nobs1
float
Number of observations in sample 1.
- nobs1
