Title: A discussion on the uses of power
Abstract: Statistical power continues to be much researched and applied owing to concerns about the credibility and replicability of psychological findings. We consider power calculations in the abstract (i.e., without data), and consider calculations that incorporate sampling variability when effect sizes are estimated from collected data. Power calculated from estimated effect sizes have been used to (a) design future research (b) characterize the power of designs used in a literature that served as input to the power calculation, or to (c) evaluate whether the obtained results can be trusted. We end with an open discussion on these uses of power.
