[R-sig-ME] Logit mixed model power analysis

[Andrew Robinson]

I understand post-hoc power as being a function of the p-value, and
therefore redundant.  When asked for the kind of information that post-hoc
power is used to represent, I prefer to provide confidence intervals on the
parameters of interest - if possible.

Best wishes,

Andrew
