Sample size and power

Before you start a study, compute the sample size you need or the power you can expect.

Sample size and power

The effect size is an assumption; it has no confidence interval.

The computation is made before the study, from an assumed effect size.

When the allocation ratio differs from 1, each group's size is reported separately.

Sample size and statistical power — Laboratoriya

The effect size you enter is an assumption about the population, not an estimate taken from data.

This calculator computes power BEFORE a study. It does not compute “achieved power” from a finished result: that number is fully determined by the p-value and adds no information.
