Power

Tired of waiting around for your simulations to finish? Run them in parallel! This post covers how to use Spark and ForEach to add parallelism to your R code.

That’s a dense title – Monte Carlo Simulation, Power, Mixed-Effect models. Each of these topics could be their own post. However, I’m going to discuss their interrelations in the context of experimental power and keep everything high-level. The goal is to get an intuitive idea of how we can leverage simulation to provide sample size estimates for experiments with nested data.
