FTestAnovaPower.solve_power(effect_size=None, nobs=None, alpha=None, power=None, k_groups=2)
[source]
solve for any one parameter of the power of a F-test
Exactly one needs to be None
, all others need numeric values.
Parameters: |
|
---|---|
Returns: |
value – The value of the parameter that was set to None in the call. The value solves the power equation given the remainding parameters. |
Return type: |
float |
The function uses scipy.optimize for finding the value that satisfies the power equation. It first uses brentq
with a prior search for bounds. If this fails to find a root, fsolve
is used. If fsolve
also fails, then, for alpha
, power
and effect_size
, brentq
with fixed bounds is used. However, there can still be cases where this fails.
