% Variation power simulation -- Monte-Carlo power for the paper's stim x day % interaction, using THIS folder's data as the ground truth. % % Ground truth: fitlme(behavior ~ stim + day + stim:day + (1|rat)) on data.csv % (success COUNT; day within-window). Its fixed effects, per-rat intercept SD, % and residual SD generate NREP synthetic datasets at each rats-per-group N and % each true-effect multiplier (1 = observed slope, 0.5 = half). Each dataset is % scored at alpha = 0.05 two ways: % per-animal : Welch t on per-rat behavior~day slopes (cluster-honest -- the % honest power, matching the random-slope / per-animal inference) % LME : the fitlme stim:day p (observation-level DF -- optimistic) % Writes power_result.txt beside this script.
