    power analysis for distance-based methods



    Is anyone aware of tools to perform power analyses on distance-based multivariate methods such as

    Permanova
    ANOSIM
    dbRDA

    etc...?

    I was using the pwr library in R today and it struck me that I dont know how to do a multivariate PA.

    Now that I think of it, are there functions that deal with factorial and unbalanced designs?

    the function:

    Code: 
    pwr.anova.test(k=2,sig.level=0.05,f=0.25,power=0.8)
    deals with balanced designs. There was a brief discussion about this in stackoverflow but nothing came of it. Has anyone had to deal with this?

    Well you can always do simulations to do your power analysis. I like that approach too because it makes it easier to assess what kind of sample size you would need even in the face of a broken assumption.

    Dason, thanks. Can you perhaps point me towards some more info about simualtions? It was (briefly) metioned on stackoverflow.
