Power analysis methods

Type Independent variable Dependent variable
1. A priori Power (1-β), significance level (α), and effect size N
2. Compromise Effect size, N, q=β/α Power (1-β), significance level (α)
3. Criterion Power (1-β), effect size, N Significance level (α), criterion
4. Post-hoc Significance level (α), effect size, N Power (1-β)
5. Sensitivity Significance level (α), power (1-β), N Effect size

N, sample size; q=β/α, error probability ratio, which indicates the relative proportionality or disproportionality of the 2 values.
