- What is the power of a test? The power of a statistical test is the probability that it will correctly lead to the rejection of a false null hypothesis (Greene, 2000). The statistical power is the ability of a test to detect an effect, if the effect actually exists (High, 2000). Cohen (1988) says, it is the probability that it will result in the conclusion that the phenomenon exists (p.4). A statistical power analysis is either retrospective (post hoc) or prospective (a priori). A prospective analysis is often used to determine a required sample size to achieve target statistical power, while a retrospective analysis computes the statistical power of a test given sample size and effect size.
