power analysis
6 September 2010 - 5:20pm
Can anyone suggest some references for first principles derivation of power and sample size formulae as used in e.g. Statistical Power Analysis for the Behavioural Sciences by Jacob Cohen.

Dear John,
I am not sure if this is exactly what you want, but there is a useful website that offers free G*power software for making such calculations, with suggested literature: http://www.psycho.uni-duesseldorf.de/abteilungen/aap/gpower3/literature.
There is a more general website that might be helpful: http://www.epibiostat.ucsf.edu/biostat/sampsize.html.
