Prediction limit for an estimated correlation

Source: R/statpsych2.R

Computes approximate prediction interval for the estimated Pearson correlation in a future study with a planned sample size of n. The prediction interval uses a correlation estimate from a prior study that had a sample size of n0.

pi.cor(alpha, cor, n0, n)

Arguments

alpha

alpha value for 1-alpha confidence

cor

estimated Pearson correlation from prior study

n0

sample size used to estimate correlation in prior study

n

planned sample size of future study

Value

Returns a prediction interval of an estimated correlation in a future study
