Bootstrap power calculation: a flexible alternative to conventional power analysis for prospective and replication studies
摘要
Bootstrapping offers a flexible approach to estimating statistical power, when planning a new study based on a previous one. In this article, we explore both parametric and non-parametric bootstrap power calculations and demonstrate how to incorporate uncertainty about effect size in bootstrap power analysis. We use real examples to illustrate bootstrap power calculations in independent t-test and ANCOVA. Finally, we discuss the broader implications of bootstrap power calculation for a variety of research designs.
