santaR_pvalue_dist_within {santaR}

Evaluate difference between a group mean curve and a constant model

Description

Execute a t-test based on the comparison of distance between a group mean curve and a constant linear model. Generate n constant linear model. The Null distribution is generated by permuting the n group individuals and the n constant trajectories. The real distance (area) between the group trajectory and the flat trajectory is compared to the Null distribution of distances, similarly to santaR_pvalue_dist.

Usage

santaR_pvalue_dist_within(SANTAGroup, nPerm = 1000, nStep = 5000)

Arguments

SANTAGroup

A fitted group extracted from a SANTAObj generated by santaR_fit.

nPerm

(int) Number of permutations. Default 1000.

nStep

(int) Number of steps employed for the calculation of the area between group mean curves. Default is 5000.

Value

A p-value
