This was, of course, not quite correct. Power is a function of *three* independent
components: effect size, sample size, and *alpha* (the probability of making a type I
error). Effect size and sample size usually turn up explicitly in the formula. Alpha
usually turns up only in the table of non-central F that is used. Sorry for the
inexactitude.
