R: Plot Precision of Estimate of Pearson Correlation Coefficient

plotCorrPrecision {Hmisc} | R Documentation

## Plot Precision of Estimate of Pearson Correlation Coefficient

### Description

This function plots the precision (margin of error) of the product-moment linear correlation coefficient r vs. sample size, for a given vector of correlation coefficients `rho`. Precision is defined as the larger of the upper confidence limit minus rho and rho minus the lower confidence limit. `labcurve` is used to automatically label the curves.

### Usage

    plotCorrPrecision(rho = c(0, 0.5), n = seq(10, 400, length = 100),
                      conf.int = 0.95, offset=0.025, ...)

### Arguments

`rho` | single or vector of true correlations. A worst-case precision graph results from rho=0
`n` | vector of sample sizes to use on the x-axis
`conf.int` | confidence coefficient; default uses 0.95 confidence limits
`offset` | see `labcurve`
`...` | other arguments to `labcurve`
