Introduction to Power Analysis: Two-Group Studies provides readers with the background, examples, and explanation they need to read technical papers and materials that include complex power analyses. This clear and accessible guide explains the components of test statistics and their sampling distributions, and author Eric Hedberg walks the reader through the simple and complex considerations of this research question. Filled with graphics and examples, the reader is taken on a tour of power analyses from covariates to clusters, seeing how the complicated task of comparing two groups, and the power analysis, can be made easy.…mehr

E. C. Hedberg is a Senior Associate at Abt Associates. Previously he was a Senior Research Scientist at NORC at the University of Chicago. He received his undergraduate degree in Sociology from the University of Minnesota and his PhD in Sociology from the University of Chicago. His work is primarily focused on estimating design parameters useful for power analysis, multilevel modeling, social capital theory, and evaluation research.
