findRMSEAsamplesizenested

Find sample size given a power in nested model comparison

Description

Find the sample size that the power in rejection the samples from the alternative pair of RMSEA is just over the specified power.

Usage

findRMSEAsamplesizenested(rmsea0A = NULL, rmsea0B = NULL, rmsea1A,
  rmsea1B = NULL, dfA, dfB, power = 0.8, alpha = 0.05, group = 1)

Arguments

`rmsea0A`	The H_0 baseline RMSEA
`rmsea0B`	The H_0 alternative RMSEA (trivial misfit)
`rmsea1A`	The H_1 baseline RMSEA
`rmsea1B`	The H_1 alternative RMSEA (target misfit to be rejected)
`dfA`	degree of freedom of the more-restricted model.
`dfB`	degree of freedom of the less-restricted model.
`power`	The desired statistical power.
`alpha`	The alpha level.
`group`	The number of group in calculating RMSEA.
