Will, Your SAS input indicates that within standard deviation is 9, not the variance. If you use within.var=81 in your R statement you will get the answer matching SAS.

I had a homework assignment in SAS, but I want to learn R as well, so I was attempting to reproduce my result. (No one else in the class is doing R, so there's no need to obsfucate the answer, the SAS code is what I get my grade for.) The code I am using is: # You assume that the within-population standard deviations all equal 9. You set the Type 1 error rate at # alpha = .05. You presume that the population means will have the following values: 17.5, 19, 25, 20.5. # You intend to run 80 subjects in all, with equal n's across all 4 groups. Compute your power to reject # the null hypothesis under these conditions. means = c(17.5, 19, 25, 20.5) power.anova.test(groups = length(means), n = 80 / length(means), between.var = var(means), within.var = 9, sig.level = 0.05) The result I'm getting is: Balanced one-way analysis of variance power calculation groups = 4 n = 20 between.var = 10.5 within.var = 9 sig.level = 0.05 power = 1 NOTE: n is number in each group I've already done the calculation in SAS with the following code: data Dep; Input cue $ mean weight; datalines; A 17.5 1 B 19 1 C 25 1 D 20.5 1 ; proc glmpower; class cue; model mean = cue; weight weight; power stddev = 9 alpha = 0.05 ntotal= 80 power = .; run; This produces a power of 0.616 which is the answer I was supposed to get. Any idea what I need to change?
