Brandon, Paul R.; Harrison, George M.; Lawton, Brian E. – American Journal of Evaluation, 2013
When evaluators plan site-randomized experiments, they must conduct the appropriate statistical power analyses. These analyses are most likely to be valid when they are based on data from the jurisdictions in which the studies are to be conducted. In this method note, we provide software code, in the form of a SAS macro, for producing statistical…
