Input: |
S simulated odds ratios ORm and geometric standard errors SEm for quantification methods m = 1, … ,M. |
Level α at which to assess significance of statistical testing and to compute 100(1 − α)% confidence intervals. |
Specification of a one or two-sided alternative HA to the null hypothesis H0 : OR = 1. |
Reference odds ratio OR. |
Output: Statistical powerm to accept the alternative hypothesis, and confidence interval coveragem of the reference odds ratio. |
