The %LRpowerCorr10 SAS Macro Power Estimation for Logistic Regression Models with Several Predictors of Interest in the Presence of Covariates D. Keith Williams M.P.H. Ph.D. Zoran Bursac M.P.H. Ph.D. Department of Biostatistics University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences
The Premise for Linear and Logistic Regression Power and Sample Size • Power to detect significance among specific predictors in the presence of other covariates in a model. • For linear regression Proc Power works great! • Logistic regression power estimation is ‘quirky’
Common Approaches to Estimate Logistic Regression Power • Power for one predictor possibly in the presence of other covariates. • There may exist correlation among these predictors using %powerlog macro • A weakness…commonly we are interested in power to detect the significance of more than one predictor
LRpowerCorr10 • Up to 10 predictors • 2 binary, 4 uniform (-3,3), and 4 normal • Specify a correlation among predictors • Specify an odds ratio value for the predictors • Specify the set of factors of interest and the set of covariates

A look at regular linear regression.The basic structure is the same.
A Key Point about Linear Regression • We rarely have a conjectured values for particular betas in a regular linear regression • Therefore for linear regression models, one conjectures the difference in R-square between a model that includes predictors of interest and a model without these predictors.
The Hypothetical ScenarioA model with 4 terms Predictors for PSA of interest that we choose to power: • SVI • c_volume Two Covariates to be included : cpen, gleason
Details The full model We want to power the test that a model with these 2 predictors is statistically better than a model excluding them. The reduced model
The Corresponding Hypothesis H(o): H(a): At least one of the above is non-zero in the full model when the difference in Rsquare = ?

Power for Logistic Models Background • Most existing tools are based on Hsieh, Block, and Larsen (1998) paper,and Agresti (1996) text. • %powerlog macro and other software. • Recent publication by Demidenko (2008)
SAS 9.2 Proc Power for Logistic The LOGISTIC statement performs power and sample size analyses for the likelihood ratio chi-square test of a single predictor in binary logistic regression, possibly in the presence of one or more covariates. All predictor variables are assumed to be independent of each other. So, this analysis is not applicable to studies with correlated predictors — for example, most observational studies (as opposed to randomized studies).
Common Approaches to Estimate Logistic Regression Power • Calculate the power to detect significance of one predictor possibly in the presence of other predictors. • There may exist correlation among these predictors using %powerlog macro • A weakness…In many instances we are interested in power to detect the significance of more than one predictor
The %PowerLog MacroLogistic Regression • Power for a one s.d. unit increase from the mean of X1 • Any number of other covariates in the model are accounted for by putting the R-Square of a regular regression model:
%Powerlog Function Example %powerlog(p1=.5, p2=.6667, power=.8,rsq=%str(0,.0565, .1141),alpha=.05); Prob of 1 at mean of X1 Prob of 1 at mean + SD of X1 Three hypothetical values of the rsquare of X1 regressed on any number of other covariates

The %LRpowerCorr10 Macro • Power Estimation • One or more predictors of interest • Different distributions of predictors • Other covariates in model • Correlation among predictors • Specify OR values associated with predictors • Average proportion of ‘1’s
%LRpowerCorr (N, Simulations, Correlation) Define logit: Specify associations between each covariate x and outcome y through parameter estimate . Loop Sample of size N from the specified logit. Convert logits to binary. PROC LOGISTIC: fit the full multivariate model. Save -2LnLikelihood. PROC LOGISTIC: fit the reduced multivariate model. Save -2LnLikelihood. Perform Likelihood Ratio test. (The difference in the reduced and full -2LnLikelihoods) Is the resulting chi-square test statistic> chi-square critical value? (With respect to correct number of d.f.) If so reject the null. If not fail to reject the null. Save the result. Calculate the proportion of correct rejections (i.e. power to detect the specified associations)
