Paired Student’s t-test
Comparison of the means of two sets of paired samples, taken from two populations with unknown variance.A school athletics has taken a new instructor, and want to test the effectiveness of the new type of training proposed by comparing the average time...
Select operations on R data frames
The R language is weird - particularly for those coming from a typical programmer's background, which likely includes OO languages in the curly-brace family and relational databases using SQL. A key data structure in R, the data.frame, is used somethin...
Rosetta Code
Today I'd like to suggest the interesting Rosetta Code site:Rosetta Code is a programming chrestomathy site. The idea is to present solutions to the same task in as many different languages as possible, to demonstrate how languages are similar and diff...
Two sample Student’s t-test #2
Comparison of the averages of two independent groups, extracted from two populations at variance unknown; sample variances are not homogeneous.We want to compare the heights in inches of two groups of individuals. Here the measurements:A: 175, 168, 168...
Example 7.7: Tabulate binomial probabilities
Suppose we wanted to assess the probability P(X=x) for a binomial random variate with n = 10 and with p = .81, .84, ..., .99. This could be helpful, for example, in various game settings. In SAS, we find the probability that X=x using differences in t...
Two sample Student’s t-test #1
t-Test to compare the means of two groups under the assumption that both samples are random, independent, and come from normally distributed population with unknow but equal variancesHere I will use the same data just seen in a previous post. The data ...
One sample Student’s t-test
Comparison of the sample mean with a known value, when the variance of the population is not known.Consider the exercise we have just seen before.It was made an intelligence test in 10 subjects, and here are the results obtained. The average result of ...
