The power is computed separately for each gene, with an optional correction to the significance level for multiple comparison. The \code{power.plot} function generates a cumulative power plot illustrating the fraction and number of genes achieve a given power for the specified sample size, significance level, and delta. Periods are printed for every 10 calculations so that the user can see that the computation is proceeding. } \note{ This code was intended to be used with data are on the log2 scale, in which case the delta can be set to becomes log2(fold-change). } \value{ \code{pow} returns a vector containing the power for each standard deviation. } \references{ Warnes GR and Fasheng Li Warnes GR and Liu P, ``Sample Size Selection for Microarray Experiments'' submitted to \emph{Biometrics}.
