French term
sur une puissance 1 - β = 90 %

Statistical Analysis
This is one very technical sentence in an otherwise very straightforward text on cosmetic testing.
I've put puissance in the term box, but really I would just like feedback from anyone who knows something about statistical analysis as to whether my translation is way off the mark or not. I realize it is more than 10 words, but I am not asking for a retranslation, simply a brief comment if you see something terribly wrong.
Thanks very much!
En se basant sur une différence Δ de 8,9 sur le critère principal d'efficacité (nombre de lésions totales) entre le groupe RV2413E et le groupe concurrent, sur un écart-type commun égal à 17,2, sur un risque α de 5%, sur une puissance 1 - β = 90 %, avec un test bilatéral, le nombre de sujets calculé est de 80 par groupe.
On the basis of a difference Δ of 8.9 on the main efficacy criterion (total number of lesions) between the group XXXXXXX and the concurrent group, of a shared standard deviation of 17.2, of a risk α of 5%, of a power 1 - β = 90%, with a bilateral test, the number of subjects calculated is 80 per group.

having a statistical power 1 - β = 90 %
Although 'power' alone would be sufficient for a statistician given the context and the mention of '1 - β', it would be helpful to other readers to put the fuller expression 'statistical power', to avoid possible confusion with power-law distributions and other such stuff.

| Thanks so much mediamatrix. This is very helpful, as most the people read this will not be statisticians, so the clearer the better :-) |
