  • Description: Most papers in the financial literature estimate the p-value associated with an investment strategy, without reporting the power of the test used to make that discovery. In this paper we provide analytic estimates to Type I and Type II errors for the Sharpe ratios of investments, and derive their familywise counterparts. These estimates allow researchers to carefully design experiments with high confidence and power
