Hi, I am confused by the binom.power - I cannot figure out how to use it. E.g., I have "normal success rate" 0.1% (i.e., p=0.001). How many successes do I need to observe per n=c(100,1000,10000,100000) trials to reject the normalcy hypothesis with confidence 95%?
I think binom.power should be able to compute that but I cannot figure out the meaning of its many parameters (as well as its return value). Thanks. PS. Would you prefer to answer this on SO or CV?
This would be a better fit with the on-topic criteria for CV, since it appears the problem is at the very least a lack of understanding of the principles of power analysis rather than primarily a coding difficulty. You might mention that you hoped to use a function by the name of `binom.power` in some non-base package (which you should offer).
