I need to calculate sample size for categorical data with three groups.
Proc Power and Proc GLMpower are using an alpha level of significance of 0.05 by default. I know that I can change it if I wish.
In our data we adjusted Fisher exact / Chi_square p-value by bonferroni method Now p-value is very small, like 0.0009, for example. Can I use this value as an alpha in Proc power? Are there any other SAS procedures that can calculate sample size using a Bonferroni p-value as a reference?

Thank you very much for the help.

I think that you have some study re-design to do. A Bonferroni alpha level of 0.0009 indicates that you have 55 tests. A primary hypothesis (at least in a clinical trial) should be designed for just one test and maybe a few interim looks.

What is ANOVA?

ANOVA, or Analysis Of Variance, is used to compare the averages or means of two or more populations to better understand how they differ. Watch this tutorial for more.
