Argus: Interactive a priori Power Analysis

Abstract: A key challenge HCI researchers face when designing a controlled experiment is choosing the appropriate number of participants, or sample size. A priori power analysis examines the relationships among multiple parameters, including the complexity associated with human participants, e.g., order and fatigue effects, to calculate the statistical power of a given experiment design. We created Argus, a tool that supports interactive exploration of statistical power: Researchers specify experiment design scenarios w… Show more

“…The practice is more solid for quantitative research (justify-n-qan) as researchers can conduct power analysis and calculate the minimum required sample size to acquire significant findings with a specific level of power and acceptable effect size [26,34]. Support for these processes can come from software such as G*Power and other innovations for sample size computation [46]. For qualitative research (justify-n-qal), the most common justification for sample size is saturation [8] where researchers recruit participants until they reach saturation in their qualitative analysis (i.e., participants are no longer revealing new discussion topics).…”

“…There will be hands-on practice in identifying ambiguities and omissions of research decisions from excerpts of research papers. We will discuss strategies for planning sample sizes [23], and the participants will explore how their decisions impact the statistical power using a simulation tool (e.g., [51]).…”

“…Chat Wacharamanotham is an Assistant Professor at the University of Zurich (UZH). The focus of his work is on understanding and developing tools for planning, reporting, reading, and sharing quantitative research [12,32,51,59,60]. He is also a co-organizer of the Transparent Statistics in Human-Computer Interaction group.…”

“…For example, there is the R package pwr [2], software G*Power [10], and interactive web-based tool Touchstone2 [9]. The knowledge of the small, medium and large eect sizes allows the researchers to enter all of them using these tools and assess the design trade-os [42]. Using all three reference eect sizes and then assessing whether the sample size is reasonable can be a way to do a priori power analysis.…”
