Chi-Square Power Analysis

Chi-square power analysis is a prospective calculation that determines the minimum sample size required — or the statistical power achievable with a given sample — for chi-square independence tests or goodness-of-fit tests. It rests on Cohen's w effect size framework, codified by Jacob Cohen in his landmark 1988 work on statistical power for the behavioral sciences.
