Computes the sample size in each group required to estimate a ratio of proportions with desired confidence interval precision in a 2-group design. Set R = 1 for equal sample sizes.

For more details, see Section 2.22 of Bonett (2021, Volume 3)

Usage

size.ci.ratio.prop2(alpha, p1, p2, r, R)

Arguments

alpha

alpha level for 1-alpha confidence

p1

planning value of proportion for group 1

p2

planning value of proportion for group 2

r

desired upper to lower confidence interval endpoint ratio

R

n2/n1 ratio

Value

Returns the required sample size for each group
