Variance functions are computed using either the method described in Obuchowski, Lieber and Wians (2004) for continuous and ordinal data assuming a binormal distibution (the default), or the method described by Hanley and McNeil (1982) for continuous data only, which is based on the Mann-Whitney version of the rank-sum test. {cmd:power oneroc} is loosely based upon the code used in the SASĀ® macro ROCPOWER (Zepp 1995). {title:Options} {phang} {opth a:lpha(numlist)} sets the significance level of the test. The default is {cmd:alpha(0.05)}. {phang} {opth p:ower(numlist)} specifies the desired power at which sample size is to be computed. If {cmd:power()} is specified in conjunction with {cmd:n()}, {cmd:n1()}, or {cmd:n0()}, then the actual power of the test is presented. {phang} {opth n(numlist)} specifies the total number of subjects in the study to be used for determining power. {phang} {opth n1(numlist)} specifies the number of subjects in the diseased group to be used for determining power. {phang} {opth n0(numlist)} specifies the number of subjects in the non-diseased group to be used for determining power. {phang} {opth ratio(numlist)} specifies the sample-size ratio of the non-diseased group relative to the diseased group, {cmd:N0/N1}. The default is {cmd:ratio(1)}, meaning equal allocation between the two groups. {phang} {opt onesid:ed} indicates a one-sided test. The default is two sided. {phang} {opt han:ley} uses the Hanley and McNeil (1982) method for computing the variance functions for continuous data. The default is the method described by Obuchowski, Lieber, and Wians (2004) which is designed for use with continuous and ordinal data assuming a binormal distribution. {phang} {opt gr:aph}, {cmd:graph()}; see {manhelp power_optgraph PSS-2: power, graph}. {title:Remarks: Using power oneroc} {pstd} {cmd:power oneroc} computes sample size or power for a one-sample ROC analysis. All computations are performed for a two-sided hypothesis test where, by default, the significance level is set to 0.05. You may change the significance level by specifying the {cmd:alpha()} option. You can specify the {cmd:onesided} option to request a one-sided test. {pstd} To compute sample size, you must specify the AUCs under the null hypotheses ({it:auc0} and the alternative {it:auc1} respectively), and the power of the test in the {cmd:power()} option. The default power is set to 0.80. {pstd} To compute power, you must specify the sample size(s) in any of the {cmd:n()}, {cmd:n1()} or {cmd:n0()} options, along with the AUCs under the null and alternative hypotheses, {it:auc0} and {it:auc1}, respectively. {pstd} By default, the computed sample size is rounded up to the next integer. {title:Examples} {title:Examples: Computing sample size} {pstd} Compute the sample size required to detect an AUC of 0.70 given an AUC of 0.50 under the null hypothesis using a two-sided test and computing variances using the Obuchowski formula; assume a 5% significance level and 80% power (the defaults) {p_end} {phang2}{cmd:. power oneroc 0.50 0.70} {pstd} Same as above, using a power of 90% and a one-sided test, computing variances using the Hanley and McNeil (1982) method {p_end} {phang2}{cmd:. power oneroc 0.50 0.70, power(0.90) onesided hanley} {pstd} Same as above, specifying a 4 to 1 ratio of non-diseased to diseased units {p_end} {phang2}{cmd:. power oneroc 0.50 0.70, power(0.90) onesided hanley ratio(4)} {pstd} Same as above, but applying a range of AUC values under the alternative hypothesis and setting alpha levels to 0.05 and 0.01; and graphing the results {p_end} {phang2}{cmd:. power oneroc 0.50 (0.60(0.05).95), power(0.90) onesided hanley ratio(4) alpha(0.01 0.05) graph} {title:Examples: Computing power} {pstd} For a total sample of 50 subjects, compute the power of a two-sided test to detect an AUC of 0.70 given a null AUC of 0.50 and computing variances using the Obuchowski method; assume a 5% significance level (the default){p_end} {phang2}{cmd:. power oneroc 0.50 0.70, n(50)} {pstd} For a diseased group of 20 subjects and a ratio of 2 non-diseased patients for each diseased subject, compute the power of a one-sided test to detect an AUC of 0.70 given a null AUC of 0.50 at the 5% significance level{p_end} {phang2}{cmd:. power oneroc 0.50 0.70, n1(20) ratio(2) onesided} {pstd} For a diseased group of 50 subjects and a non-diseased group of 35 subjects, compute the power of a one-sided test to detect an AUC of 0.70 given a null AUC of 0.50 at the 1% significance level{p_end} {phang2}{cmd:. power oneroc 0.50 0.70, n1(50) n0(35) onesided alpha(0.01)} {pstd} Compute powers for a range of alternative AUCs and total sample sizes, graphing the results{p_end} {phang2}{cmd:. power oneroc 0.50 (0.70(.10)0.90), n(5(5)30) graph} {title:Stored results} {pstd} {cmd:power oneroc} stores the following in {cmd:r()}: {synoptset 20 tabbed}{...} {p2col 5 20 24 2: Scalars}{p_end} {synopt:{cmd: r(alpha)}}significance level{p_end} {synopt:{cmd: r(auc0)}}null AUC{p_end} {synopt:{cmd: r(auc1)}}alternative AUC{p_end} {synopt:{cmd: r(beta)}}probability of a type II error{p_end} {synopt:{cmd: r(delta)}}effect size{p_end} {synopt:{cmd: r(divider)}}1 if divider is requested in the table, 0 otherwise{p_end} {synopt:{cmd: r(ratio)}}ratio of sample sizes, N0/N1{p_end} {synopt:{cmd: r(N)}}total sample size{p_end} {synopt:{cmd: r(N0)}}sample size of the non-diseased group {p_end} {synopt:{cmd: r(N1)}}sample size of the diseased group {p_end} {synopt:{cmd: r(onesided)}}1 for a one-sided test, 0 otherwise{p_end} {synopt:{cmd: r(power)}}power{p_end} {synopt:{cmd: r(V0)}}variance function of the null AUC {p_end} {synopt:{cmd: r(V1)}}variance function of the alternative AUC {p_end} {synoptset 20 tabbed}{...} {p2col 5 20 24 2: Macros}{p_end} {synopt:{cmd:r(type)}}{cmd:test}{p_end} {synopt:{cmd:r(method)}}{cmd:oneroc}{p_end} {synopt:{cmd:r(columns)}}displayed table columns{p_end} {synopt:{cmd:r(labels)}}table column labels{p_end} {synopt:{cmd:r(widths)}}table column widths{p_end} {synopt:{cmd:r(formats)}}table column formats{p_end} {synoptset 20 tabbed}{...} {p2col 5 15 19 2: Matrices}{p_end} {synopt:{cmd:r(pss_table)}}table of results{p_end} {p2colreset}{...} {title:References} {p 4 8 2} Hanley, J.A., and B.
