Title: Sample Size and Power Calculation in Micorarray Studies
Description: This package has been prepared to assist users in computing either a sample size or power value for a microarray experimental study. The user is referred to the cited references for technical background on the methodology underpinning these calculations. This package provides support for five types of sample size and power calculations. These five types can be adapted in various ways to encompass many of the standard designs encountered in practice.

Power Calculations for Matched-Pairs Designs in Microarray Studies

Description

This routine computes the individual power value for a matched-pairs design having n treatment units and n matched control units. This power value is the expected fraction of truly differentially expressed genes that will be correctly declared as differentially expressed by the tests.

Usage

power.matched(ER0, G0, absMu1, sigmad, n)

Arguments

ER0

mean number of false positives.
G0

anticipated number of genes in the experiment that are not differentially expressed.
absMu1

absoulte mean difference in log-expression between treatment and control conditions as postulated under the alternative hypothesis H1.

sigmad

anticipated standard deviation of the difference in log-expression between matched treatment and control units. The relation between the standard deviation of the difference (sigmad) and the experimental error standard deviation (sigma) is sigmad=sqrt(2)/sigma.
n

the sample size for each group.

Value

power

power.
psi1

non-centrality parameter.

Power Calculations for Multiple Treatments Design with an Isolated Treatment Effect in Microarray Studies

Description

Assume numTrt treatment conditions are being studied in either a completely randomized or randomized block design. Under the alternative hypothesis H1, one treatment is distinguished from the other numTrt - 1 treatments by exhibiting differential expression for the gene. This computer routine calculates the individual power value for the design. This power value is the expected fraction of truly differentially expressed genes that will be correctly declared as differentially expressed by the tests.

Usage

power.multi(ER0, G0, numTrt, absMu1, sigma, n)

Arguments

ER0

mean number of false positives.
G0

anticipated number of genes in the experiment that are not differentially expressed.
numTrt

total number of treatment conditions.
absMu1

the absolute difference in expression between the distinguished treatment and the other treatments on the log-intensity scale.

sigma

anticipated experimental error standard deviation of the difference in log-expression between treatments.

n

the sample size for each group.

Value

power

power.
psi1

non-centrality parameter.
