27.9 Arguments:

  • k: Number of groups
  • n: Number of observations (per group)
  • f: Effect size
  • sig.level: Significance level (Type I error probability)
  • power: Power of test (1 minus Type II error probability)

f = \sqrt{\frac{σ²ₘ}{σ²}} Where σ²ₘ is the variation of the group means and σ² is the average variation within groups (Each typically estimated).

Suggested interpretation: (this is not likely discipline appropriate):

  • f=0.10 is a small effect
  • f=0.25 is a medium effect
  • f=0.40 is a large effect
