There is a FAQ and a Stata Journal article on calculating power, both by Alan
Feiveson, which may be use.
Stata FAQ "How can I use Stata to calculate power by simulation?"
(http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/stat/power.html ) by Alan Feiveson
and
Stata Journal(2-2) "Power by simulation" by Alan Feiveson.
Hope this helps,
Scott

Subject: st: Power calculation for regression
> Dear Statalisters
>
> I'm putting together a prospective protocol for a long term stability study
> (26 months) that will ultimately yield a series of 17 data points over time.
> Each data point will be an average of 5 replicates from a test. I
> anticipate plotting a regression of average intensity (the test result)over
> time, to yield a linear equation. Is there a common test for inferring an
> effect due to time, such as rejecting a null hypothesis of slope=0? Can I
> calculate power? Are five replicates at each point sufficient?
>
> Thanks for any guidance - even if its RTFM (though a pointer to a specific
> section would be appreciated - the help file for -regress- is dizzyingly
> large)
