st: RE: Power calculation for ZINB and Poisson Models

["MacLennan, Graeme" <g.maclennan@abdn.ac.uk>]

Christina, a baby example. I dont have access to Stata at the moment, but this should still work

* quick power calculation for detecting
* half a standard deviation with a sample size
* of 50 in each group (two sample t-test)
sampsi 0 0.5, sd(1) n(50)


* replicate using a simple Monte Carlo simulation
program drop _all
program define ttestsim, rclass
       version 11.2
        syntax [, obs(integer 1)]
        drop _all
        set obs `obs'
        gen group = mod(_n, 2)
        gen outcome = rnormal()
        replace outcome = outcome + 0.5 if group == 1
        ttest outcome, by(group)
        return scalar p = r(p)
end

* create data set of 1000 simulated datasets returning p
* values from ttests
quietly simulate p = r(p), reps(1000): ttestsim, obs(100)
* the proportion of p values less than 0.05 is  power
gen power = p <= 0.05
tab power



You'll see that the simulation power is very similar to the out of the can number.
HTH,
Graeme,

Thank you Graeme.

I can now do a simulation fitted to my data. However the link you
refer to does not explain how to convert the simulated model (or
several simulated models) into a power estimation.

Anybody who knows how to do that??? I would really appreciate your input.

Kind regards
Christina
