How about something like this? library(pwr) i <- 2 while(pwr.2p2n.test(h=.20, n1=i, n2=i*9)$power < .80) {i <- i + 1} pwr.2p2n.test(h=.20, n1=i, n2=i*9) difference of proportion power calculation for binomial distribution (arcsine transformation) h = 0.2 n1 = 219 n2 = 1971 sig.level = 0.05 power = 0.8017491 alternative = two.sided NOTE: different sample sizes > Thanks > > Dan -- Chuck Cleland, Ph.D. NDRI, Inc.
