Hi Roger,
My hypothesis is that the proportion of attendance for the control group
is 0.5, and the proportion for the experimental group is 0.8. How do you
translate that into a z-test?
Thanks,
Tim

I think you probably could use -powercal- to do these power
calculations. The formulas are given in Newson (2004). However, to use
these formulas, you must first specify the kind of effect you intend to
measure (eg a ratio between proportions or a difference between
proportions or a difference between odds), and the groups you intend to
compare. These specifications not clear from your email (quoted below).
I hope this helps.
Best wishes
Roger

Subject: st: -powercal-
Hi all,
I would like to use calculate sample size for an RCT whose outcome will
be assessed by Binomial regression. Basically it's the proportion of
treatment sessions that are attended. Some will be assigned 3 sessions,
some 6, and some 12. Say the proportions are 60%, 20%, and 20%. Assuming
equal proportion between treatment and control group, I wonder if I
could use -powercal- to do the calculations instead of running a
simulation.
Help would be much appreciated.
Tim
