Power assessment for tests of the equality of several proportions

Power assessment for tests of the equality of several proportions
Power assessment for tests of the equality of several proportions
In this paper the elementary statistical problem of testing the equality of several Bernoulli probabilities is considered, and attention is specifically directed to forming an assessment of the power properties of such a test. In particular, power levels are considered under a simple restriction on the range of the Bernoulli probabilities. A test procedure based on the range of the arcsin-root transformations of the observed proportions is considered, and it is shown how power levels may be calculated both exactly and under asymptotic assumptions.

Abstract

In this paper the elementary statistical problem of testing the equality of several Bernoulli probabilities is considered, and attention is specifically directed to forming an assessment of the power properties of such a test. In particular, power levels are considered under a simple restriction on the range of the Bernoulli probabilities. A test procedure based on the range of the arcsin-root transformations of the observed proportions is considered, and it is shown how power levels may be calculated both exactly and under asymptotic assumptions.
