The goal of JustifyAlpha is to provide ways for researchers to justify their alpha level when designing studies. Two approaches are currently implemented. The first function optimal_alpha allows users to computed balanced or minimized Type 1 and Type 2 error rates. The second approach uses the function ttestEvidence or ftestEvidence to lower the alpha level as a function of the sample size to prevent Lindley’s paradox.
