An Equivalence Test Based On N And P, Markus Neuhäeuser May 2010

An Equivalence Test Based On N And P, Markus Neuhäeuser

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

An equivalence test is proposed which is based on the P-value of a test for a difference and the sample size. This test may be especially appropriate for an exploratory re-analysis if only a non-significant test for a difference was reported. Thus, neither a confidence interval is available, nor is there access to the raw data. The test is illustrated using two examples; for both applications the smallest equivalence range for which equivalence could be demonstrated is calculated.
