Thank you, but these are not proportions. They are intensity measures. You can think of them as ratios of two continous things.
For example with the auto data, they could be the ratio of car's length to weight (length / weight) which is always between 0 and 1.
Now less say that you want to compare these ratio between between foreign and domestic cars.

Ricardo,
I may be mistaken here, but it seems you have two proportions (if it's
bounded between 0,1 then you have a numerator and a denominator for each
group).
If that is truly the case, you can use sampsi for proportions:
. sampsi 0.25 0.4
Estimated sample size for two-sample comparison of proportions
Test Ho: p1 = p2, where p1 is the proportion in population 1
and p2 is the proportion in population 2
Assumptions:
alpha = 0.0500 (two-sided)
power = 0.9000
p1 = 0.2500
p2 = 0.4000
n2/n1 = 1.00
Estimated required sample sizes:
n1 = 216
n2 = 216
I hope this helps

I need to compute sample size and power for a study comparing two group on a
measurement bounded by (0,1), (a measure of intensity).
I was thinking about using -sampsi- to power on the difference of means.
However, this seems strange to me, is there another way to power such
comparison?
Thank you,
Ricardo
