Sensitivity is the ability of a test to correctly detect the disease when it is present. {pstd} {opt power onesens} implements the naive prevalence inflation method introduced by Obuchowski and Zhou (2002). Li and Fine (2004) found this method (which they refer to as "Method 0") to be a useful approximation to exact sample-size calculations based on unconditional power, which are more computationally intensive. {title:Options} {phang} {opth alpha(numlist)} sets the significance level of the test. The default is {cmd:alpha(0.05)}. {phang} {opth power(numlist)} specifies the desired power at which sample size is to be computed. The default is {cmd:power(0.80)}. If {cmd:power()} is specified in conjunction with {cmd:n()}, 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 prev(numlist)} specifies the conjectured prevalence of the disease in the clinical population. The default is {cmd:prev(0.50)}. {phang} {cmd:onesided} indicates a one-sided test. The default is two sided. {phang} {cmd:graph}, {cmd:graph()}; see {manhelp power_optgraph PSS-2: power, graph}. {title:Examples} {title:Examples: Computing sample size} {pstd} Compute the sample size required to detect a sensitivity of 0.90 given a sensitivity of 0.70 under the null hypothesis using a two-sided test; assume a 5% significance level, 80% power and a conjectured disease prevalence of 0.50 (the defaults) {p_end} {phang2}{cmd:. power onesens 0.70 0.90} {pstd} Same as above, using a power of 90%, a one-sided test, and a prevalence of 0.10 {p_end} {phang2}{cmd:. power onesens 0.70 0.90, power(0.90) prev(0.10) onesided} {pstd} Computing sample size for a range of prevalence rates {p_end} {phang2}{cmd:. power onesens 0.70 0.90, power(0.90) prev(0.10(.10).90) onesided} {pstd} Applying a range of sensitivity values under the alternative hypothesis and setting alpha levels to 0.05 and 0.01 with a prevalence of 0.10.
