============================================================================== POWER SIMULATION -- unmerge_d0_10 ============================================================================== model: behavior ~ stim + day + stim:day + (1|rat) (success COUNT; day within-window) observed groups: stim n=3, control n=3 nrep=120, alpha=0.05 ground truth: stim:day=+1.56/day, rat SD=5.35, residual SD=12.51, days=11 true stim:day interaction = +1.56 (100% of observed) N/group | per-animal power | LME power ------------------------------------------ 3 | 0.15 | 0.31 <- observed 5 | 0.44 | 0.56 8 | 0.59 | 0.66 12 | 0.88 | 0.90 16 | 0.93 | 0.95 24 | 0.99 | 1.00 true stim:day interaction = +0.78 (50% of observed) N/group | per-animal power | LME power ------------------------------------------ 3 | 0.11 | 0.11 <- observed 5 | 0.09 | 0.13 8 | 0.22 | 0.23 12 | 0.32 | 0.32 16 | 0.47 | 0.47 24 | 0.63 | 0.60 Read the per-animal column as the honest power. At the observed N this study is typically underpowered; per-animal power reaches ~0.8 only at larger N.
