F-Distribution Power Calculation
Calculates the power for a two-way ANOVA
Fpower2(alpha,nlev,nreps,Delta,sigma)
alpha |
input - significance level of the F-test. |
nlev |
input - vector of length two containing the number of levels of the factors. |
nreps |
input - the the number of replicates in each combination of factor levels. |
Delta |
input - the size of a practical difference in two marginal factor level means. |
sigma |
input - the standard deviation of the experimental error. |
probability of exceeding fcrit(alpha, nu1,nu2) with the non-central F-distribution with nu1 and nu2 degrees of freedom and noncentrality parameter nc
