Dear all, I can't get my head around how contour lines are drawn. Working example(x and y are parameters of a certain test and z the resulting power): library(PowerTOST) x??? <- 0.90 y??? <- 0.35 res? <- as.numeric(sampleN.TOST(theta0 = x, CV = y, design = "2x2x4", ??????????????????????????????? method = "central", details = FALSE, ??????????????????????????????? print = FALSE)[7:8]) mesh <- 28 ys?? <- unique(sort(c(y, seq(y*.8, y*1.2, length.out = mesh)))) xs?? <- unique(sort(c(x, seq(x*0.95, 1, length.out = mesh)))) z??? <- matrix(nrow = length(ys), ncol = length(xs), ?????????????? dimnames = list(paste0("y.", signif(ys, 5)), ?????????????????????????????? paste0("x.", signif(xs, 5)))) for (i in seq_along(ys)) { ? for (j in seq_along(xs)) { ??? z[i, j] <- suppressMessages( ???????????????? power.TOST(CV = ys[i], theta0 = xs[j], design = "2x2x4", ??????????????????????????? method = "central", n = res[1])) ? } } z??? <- z[nrow(z):1, ncol(z):1]????????? # reverse rows & columns z[paste0("y.", y), paste0("x.", x)] == res[2] # should be TRUE contour(xs, ys, z, nlevels = 20, las = 1, labcex = 1, ??????? xlab = "x", ylab = "y", main = paste("n =", n)) abline(h = y, v = x, lty = 2) points(x, y, col = "red", cex = 1.5) text(x, y, labels = signif(z[paste0("y.", y), paste0("x.", x)], 6), ???? col = "red", adj = c(-0.1, 1.5)) At x = 0.9 and y = 0.35 z = 0.8130092. Obviously this does not agree with the contour-lines. I'm sure that I screwed up - but where? All the best, Helmut -- Ing. Helmut Sch?tz BEBAC??
