I want to estimate the power associated with various treatment effects between two groups. In group 1 there are 145 people and group 2 has 225 people. Additionally, I expect the average score of group 1 to be 31% and group 2 41%. Based on previous studies, we expect a 5% standard deviation in each cohort. How can I incorporate 5% sd into my power estimate?
Originally, I estimated power this way:
proc power;
twosamplemeans test=diff
groupmeans = 0.31 | .41
stddev = 0.05
groupns= (145 225)
power = .;
run;
Is this correct or should I take another approach?
