Power calculation: Minimum Detectable Effect Size for Main Outcomes
|
Before
One-sided Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney-Test, alpha = 0.05, Power = 0.9 and allocation ratio of 1 yields a sample size (a group) per treatment of 19 (assumptions: mean group Non-Linear equals 5, SD = 2; mean group Quasi-Linear equals 3, SD = 2).

After
I changed from a partner- to a stranger-matching protocol shortly before the experiment, but did not changed the power calculation because the theory predicts actual values. However, in order to be as transparent as possible, I present the power calculation in the following. One-sided Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney-Test, alpha = 0.05, Power = 0.9 and allocation ratio of 1 yields a sample size (a group) per treatment of 19 (assumptions: mean group Non-Linear equals 5, SD = 2; mean group Quasi-Linear equals 3, SD = 2).
