How do I use the Farrington Manning test with PROC POWER?

[tka726]

Hello!

I am trying to calculate a sample size for a non-inferiority test comparing 2 proportions. I am trying to use the Farrington Manning test, however I am getting an error and the code will not run. It seems that SAS does not recognize this test.

proc power;
twosamplefreq test=fm
groupproportions = (0.908 0.943)
nullproportiondiff = -0.1
alpha = 0.05
sides = U
ntotal = .
power =0.80;
run;

The following error is in the log:

ERROR: NTOTAL is not available as a result option for TEST=HTML4 °y.

Any ideas why the test=fm is causing problems? I am using SAS version 9.4

Thanks!

I suspect this is a version mismatch, ie it runs fine for me in SAS 9.4 TS1M3, SAS/STAT 14.1. I suspect you have an earlier version. Check your version (proc product_status;run;) and then check the PROC POWER documentation for the correct version. You'll likely find that option is not available.
