I am running an experiment to determine the best performing of 5 systems, labeled A-E. I plan on running pairwise comparisons, e.g. is A better than B, A vs C, etc.? For the sake of argument, we can assume that participant responses follow a normal distribution.
I realize this is essentially a question about statistical power, but I'm not sure how to apply the criteria above either to the R
package pwr
, or the statistical software G Power
. I did read through this question but couldn't figure out how to apply it to my circumstances.
Any assistance as to how to determine the experimental parameters is greatly appreciated.
