Power Analysis for Regression/Evidence
Method evidence record

Power Analysis for Regression

Power analysis for multiple regression is a pre-study procedure, formalised by Jacob Cohen (1988), that calculates the minimum sample size needed to detect a regression effect of a given size with adequate statistical power. It uses the anticipated R² (or the equivalent Cohen's f² effect size) and the number of predictors to determine how many observations must be collected before data collection begins.
