Statistical Software Components from Boston College Department of Economics

Abstract: sampsi_rho calculates either the sample size or power for a Pearson correlation. The formula for sample size is ((Za+Zb)/(delta))^2 + 3 where delta is the difference between test value and the null value, Za is the signficance Z-value and Zb is the power Z-value. The correlations are transformed using the Fisher z transformation 1/2ln((1+rho)/(1-rho)) this z is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 1/sqrt(N-3).
