yuen.t.test {PairedData} | R Documentation |
Yuen's trimmed mean test
Description
Yuen's test for one, two or paired samples.
Usage
yuen.t.test(x, ...)
## Default S3 method:
yuen.t.test(x, y = NULL, tr = 0.2, alternative = c("two.sided", "less", "greater"),
mu = 0, paired = FALSE, conf.level = 0.95, ...)
## S3 method for class 'formula'
yuen.t.test(formula, data, subset, na.action, ...)
## S3 method for class 'paired'
yuen.t.test(x, ...)
Arguments
x |
first sample or object of class paired. |
y |
second sample. |
tr |
percentage of trimming. |
alternative |
alternative hypothesis. |
mu |
a number indicating the true value of the trimmed mean (or difference in trimmed means if you are performing a two sample test). |
paired |
a logical indicating whether you want a paired yuen's test. |
conf.level |
confidence level. |
formula |
a formula of the form y ~ f where y is a numeric variable giving the data values and f a factor with TWO levels giving the corresponding groups. |
data |
an optional matrix or data frame (or similar: see model.frame) containing the variables in the formula formula. By default the variables are taken from environment(formula). |
subset |
an optional vector specifying a subset of observations to be used. |
na.action |
a function which indicates what should happen when the data contain NAs. Defaults to getOption("na.action"). |
... |
further arguments to be passed to or from methods. |
Value
A list with class "htest" containing the following components:
statistic |
the value of the t-statistic. |
parameter |
the degrees of freedom for the t-statistic. |
p.value |
the p-value for the test. |
conf.int |
a confidence interval for the trimmed mean appropriate to the specified alternative hypothesis. |
estimate |
the estimated trimmed mean or difference in trimmed means depending on whether it was a one-sample test or a two-sample test. |
null.value |
the specified hypothesized value of the trimmed mean or trimmed mean difference depending on whether it was a one-sample test or a two-sample test. |
alternative |
a character string describing the alternative hypothesis. |
method |
a character string indicating what type of test was performed. |
data.name |
a character string giving the name(s) of the data. |
