empirical_mu_one_way {LRTesteR}

Test the equality of means of an unknown distribution.

Description

Test the equality of means of an unknown distribution.

Usage

empirical_mu_one_way(x, fctr, conf.level = 0.95)

Arguments

x

a numeric vector.

fctr

a factor vector indicating groups.

conf.level

overall confidence level of the likelihood intervals. Uses Bonferroni correction.

Details

• Null: All mus are equal. (mu1 = mu2 ... muk).

• Alternative: At least one mu is not equal.

Value

An S3 class containing the test statistic, p value, list of likelihood based confidence intervals, overall confidence level, individual confidence level of each interval and alternative hypothesis.
