Data & Statistics

Effect Sizes for Different Power Levels

Power (1 – β)	Effect Size (f)
0.8	0.15
0.9	0.22

Expert Tips

• Always use the latest available data for effect size estimates.
• Consider using a power analysis tool for mixed models if your study involves repeated measures.

Interactive FAQ

What is the difference between α and β?

α is the significance level, or the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true. β is the probability of not rejecting the null hypothesis when it is false.
