1 PASS Sample Sze Software Chapter 805 Tests for Two Correlatons Introducton The correlaton coeffcent (or correlaton), ρ, s a popular parameter for descrbng the strength of the assocaton between two varables. The correlaton coeffcent s the slope of the regresson lne between two varables when both varables have been standardzed. It ranges between plus and mnus one. Ths chapter covers the case n whch you want to test the dfference between two correlatons, each comng from a separate sample. Snce the correlaton s the standardzed slope between two varables, you could also apply ths procedure to the case n whch you want to test whether the slopes n two groups are equal. Test Procedure In the followng dscusson, ρ s the populaton correlaton coeffcent and r s the value calculated from a sample. The testng procedure s as follows. H 0 s the null hypothess that ρ1 = ρ2. H A represents the alternatve hypothess that ρ1 ρ2 (one-taled hypotheses are also avalable). To construct the hypothess test, transform the correlatons usng the Fsher-z transformaton. z = Z = 1 1+ r log 2 1 r 1 1+ ρ log 2 1 ρ Ths transformaton s used because the combned dstrbuton of r 1 and r 2 s too dffcult to work wth, but the dstrbutons of z 1 and z 2 are approxmately normal. Note that the reverse transformaton s r = e e Once the correlatons have been converted nto z values, the normal dstrbuton may be used to conduct the test of Z Z. The standard devaton of the dfference s gven by 1 2 z z + e e z z σ z z = N 3 + N NCSS, LLC. All Rghts Reserved.
2 PASS Sample Sze Software Tests for Two Correlatons The test statstc s gven by z = ( z z ) ( Z Z ) σ z1 z2 Note that the lower case z s represent the values calculated from the two samples and the upper case Z s represent the hypotheszed populaton values.

Calculate: Power = ( ) 1 Φ z a Procedure Optons Ths secton descrbes the optons that are specfc to ths procedure. These are located on the Desgn tab. For more nformaton about the optons of other tabs, go to the Procedure Wndow chapter. Desgn Tab The Desgn tab contans most of the parameters and optons that you wll be concerned wth. Solve For Solve For Ths opton specfes the parameter to be solved for from the other parameters. Under most stuatons, you wll select ether Power or Sample Sze (N1). Select Sample Sze (N1) when you want to calculate the sample sze needed to acheve a gven power and alpha level. Select Power when you want to calculate the power of an experment NCSS, LLC.

3 PASS Sample Sze Software Test Tests for Two Correlatons Alternatve Hypothess Ths opton specfes the alternatve hypothess. Ths mplctly specfes the drecton of the hypothess test. The null hypothess s always H0: ρ1 = ρ2. Possble selectons are: Ha: ρ1 ρ2 Ths s the most common selecton. It yelds the two-taled test. Use ths opton when you are testng whether the correlaton values are dfferent, but you do not want to specfy beforehand whch value s larger. Ha: ρ1 < ρ2 Ths opton yelds a one-taled test. When you use ths opton, you should be careful to enter values for ρ1 and ρ2 that follow ths relatonshp. Ha: ρ1 > ρ2 Ths opton yelds a one-taled test. When you use ths opton, you should be careful to enter values for ρ1 and ρ2 that follow ths relatonshp. Power and Alpha Power Ths opton specfes one or more values for power. Power s the probablty of rejectng a false null hypothess, and s equal to one mnus Beta. Beta s the probablty of a type-ii error, whch occurs when a false null hypothess s not rejected. In ths procedure, a type-ii error occurs when you fal to reject the null hypothess of equal correlatons when n fact they are dfferent. Values must be between zero and one. Hstorcally, the value of 0.80 (Beta = 0.20) was used for power. Now, 0.90 (Beta = 0.10) s also commonly used. A sngle value may be entered here or a range of values such as 0.8 to 0.95 by 0.05 may be entered. Alpha Ths opton specfes one or more values for the probablty of a type-i error. A type-i error occurs when you reject the null hypothess of equal correlatons when n fact they are equal. Values of alpha must be between zero and one. Hstorcally, the value of 0.05 has been used for alpha. Ths means that about one test n twenty wll falsely reject the null hypothess. You should pck a value for alpha that represents the rsk of a type-i error you are wllng to take n your expermental stuaton. You may enter a range of values such as or 0.01 to 0.10 by Sample Sze (When Solvng for Sample Sze) Group Allocaton Select the opton that descrbes the constrants on N1 or N2 or both. The optons are Equal (N1 = N2) Ths selecton s used when you wsh to have equal sample szes n each group. Snce you are solvng for both sample szes at once, no addtonal sample sze parameters need to be entered NCSS, LLC. All Rghts Reserved.

N2 s related to N1 by the formula: where the value [Y] s the next nteger Y. N2 = [R N1], For example, settng R = 2.0 results n a Group 2 sample sze that s double the sample sze n Group 1 (e.g., N1 = 10 and N2 = 20, or N1 = 50 and N2 = 100). R must be greater than 0. If R < 1, then N2 wll be less than N1; f R > 1, then N2 wll be greater than N1. You can enter a sngle or a seres of values NCSS, LLC. All Rghts Reserved.
5 PASS Sample Sze Software Tests for Two Correlatons Percent n Group 1 Ths opton s dsplayed only f Group Allocaton = Enter percentage n Group 1, solve for N1 and N2. Use ths value to fx the percentage of the total sample sze allocated to Group 1 whle solvng for N1 and N2. Only sample sze combnatons wth ths Group 1 percentage are consdered. Small varatons from the specfed percentage may occur due to the dscrete nature of sample szes. The Percent n Group 1 must be greater than 0 and less than 100. You can enter a sngle or a seres of values. Sample Sze (When Not Solvng for Sample Sze) Group Allocaton Select the opton that descrbes how ndvduals n the study wll be allocated to Group 1 and to Group 2.

6 PASS Sample Sze Software Tests for Two Correlatons R (Group Sample Sze Rato) Ths opton s dsplayed only f Group Allocaton = Enter N1 and R, where N2 = R * N1. R s the rato of N2 to N1. That s, R = N2/N1 Use ths value to obtan N2 as a multple (or proporton) of N1. N2 s calculated from N1 usng the formula: where the value [Y] s the next nteger Y. N2=[R x N1], For example, settng R = 2.0 results n a Group 2 sample sze that s double the sample sze n Group 1. R must be greater than 0. If R < 1, then N2 wll be less than N1; f R > 1, then N2 wll be greater than N1. You can enter a sngle value or a seres of values. Total Sample Sze (N) Ths opton s dsplayed only f Group Allocaton = Enter total sample sze and percentage n Group 1. Ths s the total sample sze, or the sum of the two group sample szes.

The total sample sze must be greater than one, but practcally, must be greater than 3, snce each group sample sze needs to be at least 2. You can enter a sngle value or a seres of values. Percent n Group 1 Ths opton s dsplayed only f Group Allocaton = Enter total sample sze and percentage n Group 1. Ths value fxes the percentage of the total sample sze allocated to Group 1.

Possble values range between plus and mnus one. You can enter a sngle value or a range of values separated by commas or blanks.

Hence, ρ 1 = 0 and ρ 2 = 0.3 wll have a dfferent power from ρ 1 = 0.3 and ρ 2 = 0.6. ρ2 (Correlaton Group 2) Specfy the value of the populaton correlaton coeffcent from group two under the alternatve hypothess. Possble values range between plus and mnus one. You can enter a sngle value or a range of values separated by commas or blanks NCSS, LLC. All Rghts Reserved.
