Bootstrap 2-sample mean test for (hyper-)spherical data {Directional}

Bootstrap 2-sample mean test for (hyper-)spherical data

Description

Bootstrap 2-sample mean test for (hyper-)spherical data.

Usage

hcf.boot(x1, x2, fc = TRUE, B = 999)
lr.boot(x1, x2, B = 999)
hclr.boot(x1, x2, B = 999)
embed.boot(x1, x2, B = 999)
het.boot(x1, x2, B = 999)

Arguments

x1

A matrix with the data in Euclidean coordinates, i.e. unit vectors.

x2

A matrix with the data in Euclidean coordinates, i.e. unit vectors.

fc

A boolean that indicates whether a corrected F test should be used or not.

B

The number of bootstraps to perform.

Details

The high concentration (hcf.boot), log-likelihood ratio (lr.boot), high concentration log-likelihood ratio (hclr.boot), embedding approach (embed.boot) or the non equal concentration parameters approach (het.boot) is used.

Value

This is an "htest"class object. Thus it returns a list including:

statistic

The test statistic value.

parameter

The degrees of freedom of the test. Since these are bootstrap based tests this is "NA".

p.value

The p-value of the test.

alternative

A character with the alternative hypothesis.

method

A character with the test used.

data.name

A character vector with two elements.
