Key Features

Here’s what you can do with the new power analysis module:

Sensitivity Analysis with Graphs and Tables

A standout feature of this module is its ability to conduct sensitivity analysis, a crucial step for assessing the robustness of your study design. Sensitivity analysis enables you to explore how changes in sample size, effect size, or power affect the overall study outcomes. This is especially useful when planning for uncertain or variable conditions. You can:

Expanded Statistical Test Support

The module supports a wide array of statistical methods, offering flexibility for researchers across disciplines. Starting with simpler tests, such as:

Specialized sub-modules are aslo available for more advanced tests:

For all these applications, the module offers different methods for computing power, including both analytical and simulation-based approaches.

Streamlined User Experience

Accurate power analysis is essential for ensuring the success of any research project. Underpowered studies often lead to inconclusive results, wasting valuable resources and time. By using this new power analysis module, you can confidently plan your studies, knowing that your sample sizes and effect sizes are appropriately matched to your research goals. The inclusion of sensitivity analysis, combined with both graphical and tabular outputs, ensures you have a thorough understanding of how various factors influence your study’s potential outcomes.

This power analysis module is a comprehensive and user-friendly tool that addresses the key needs of researchers in planning effective studies. Whether you’re determining sample size, calculating expected power, or running sensitivity analyses, this module offers a streamlined, integrated experience within jamovi, making it easier than ever to ensure your research is well-designed and statistically sound. Try it out today and take the guesswork out of your power analysis!
