Description: Calculate the optimal sample size allocation that 
    uses the minimum resources to achieve targeted statistical 
    power in experiments.
    Perform power analyses with and without accommodating 
    costs and budget. The designs cover single-level 
    and multilevel experiments detecting main, mediation, 
    and moderation effects (and some combinations).
