Description

One and two sample Gauss test for equal mean of normal random variates with known variance.

Usage

Gauss.test(x,y=NULL,mean=0,sd=1,alternative = c("two.sided", "less", "greater"))
          

Arguments

x

a numeric vector providing the first dataset

y

optional second dataset

mean

the mean to compare with

sd

the known standard deviation

alternative

the alternative to be used in the test

Details

The Gauss test is in every Text-Book, but not in R, because it is nearly never used. However it is included here for educational purposes.

Value

A classical "htest" object

data.name
