= R code for power for a paired t-test =

Alpha is the (two-tailed) type I error, rho is the correlation between the two variables with mean the difference in variable means and sd the (common) sd for each variable.

[COPY AND PASTE INTO R AND THEN ADJUST INPUTS AS DESIRED]

alpha <- 0.05
mean <- 2
sd <- 4
rho <- 0.5

[COPY AND PASTE THE BELOW INTO R]
