# Statistical Power & Sample Size

## Overview

Power analysis plans the probability of rejecting a specified null under an assumed alternative. It answers **how many independent experimental units are needed to detect a scientifically important effect**, or what effects a feasible sample could detect. Choose the inferential goal first: precision, equivalence, noninferiority, or sequential monitoring need their own calculations; the bundled superiority-test helpers do not cover them.

Four quantities are locked together for any given test: **sample size (n)**, **effect size**, **significance level (α)**, and **power (1 − β)**. For a fixed design, analysis, and nuisance parameters, fixing three permits solving for the fourth when a solution exists. Every calculation in this skill is some rearrangement of that relationship.

This skill covers the two ways to do power analysis:
- **Analytical** power calculations (exact under some standard-test assumptions; asymptotic approximations for others) — see `references/closed_form_recipes.md`.
