simpowa: Power Analysis and Sample Size Calculation for Semi-Field Vector Control Trials
Uses simulations from generalized linear mixed-effects models to incorporate random effects across multiple sources and levels of variation, and a dispersion parameter to account for overdispersion and capture unexplained variability. Covers design scenarios for both short-term and long-term trials evaluating the impact of single or combined vector control interventions. Methods build on Kipingu et al. (2025) <doi:10.1186/s12936-025-05454-y> and Johnson et al. (2015) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.12306>.
