    Hi everyone,
    Does anybody know of a reference that recommends and 80% power (0.20 beta risk) as a minimum/rule of thumb for power and sample size calculations?  I’m aware that setting up your beta risk is really up to you and the criticality of the process, but if you need a place to start, I know in all my statistics and SS classes, a minimum power of 80% is typically used.
    As for confidence (alpha risk), typically the minimum is 90%.
    Thanks
