teststat_RSS {RSStest}

Ranked Set Sampling Test

Description

This function tests for the difference of two population means using ranked set sampling given in Özdemir, Ebegil and Gökpınar (2017).

Usage

teststat_RSS(x1, x2, alpha = 0.05, alternative = "two-tailed", table = TRUE)

Arguments

x1

A (non-empty) numeric matrix (m1xr1) of ranked set sample for Group 1 with set size m1 and cycle size r1.

x2

A (non-empty) numeric matrix (m2xr2) of ranked set sample for Group 2 with set size m2 and cycle size r2.

alpha

A scalar value of the significance level for hypothesis testing used in the table. Default is 0.05.

alternative

A character string specifying the alternative hypothesis, must be one of "two-sided", "right" or "left". Can be abbreviated. Default is "two-sided".

table

A logical value that shows table gives the results of the hypothesis test are printed out. Default is TRUE.

Value

If table is TRUE the hypothesis test results table includes sample sizes, test statistics, critical values and test results are printed out.
