Abstract
Statistical power analysis involves determining statistical power of a design given a statistical significance level, sample size, and effect size, or determining the sample size necessary to obtain a desired level of power for a specified effect size and significance level. Power analysis is described for research designs with and without covariates. It is also described for research designs that involve multilevel sampling and assignment of intact groups to treatments. A table is provided to assist in the computation of statistical power for a given effect size and sample size or required sample size for a given effect size and desired power.
