Abstract
"Textbook" calculations of statistical power
and/or sample size follow from formulas that assume
that the variables under consideration are
measured without error. However, in the "real
world" of behavioral research, errors of measurement
cannot be neglected. A recent sample-size
determination approach is easily adapted to incorporate
unreliability information for both completely
randomized and randomized block
analysis-of-variance designs. A worked example presents
an instance wherein a blocking strategy is
clearly advantageous assuming infallible measuring
instruments, but not when the same instruments
are granted fallibility.
