Student t-test for 2 correlated samples: tests (p-values)#

ctx.studentt_2csamples_test(mean, sd, n, alpha=0.05)#

where ctx is dec, mpm, or gmp.

Returns results for Student’s t-test for for 2 correlated samples.

See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student%27s_t-test#Paired_samples

Parameters:

Mean:

The mean of the sample.

Sd:

The standard deviation of the sample

N:

The sample size

Alpha:

The alpha-level used for confidence intervals

Let \((X_1, X_2, \ldots, X_N)\) denote a random sample of size \(N\) from a normal distribution with mean \(\mu\) and variance \(\sigma^2\), and let

\[\overline{x}_1 = \frac{1}{N} \sum_{i=1}^N X_i \quad \text{and } s^2 = \frac{1}{N-1} \sum_{i=1}^N (X_i - \overline{x}_1)\]

be the usual sample estimates of the unkown population mean \(\mu\) and unkown population variance \(\sigma^2\). Then Student’s t-test can be used to test hypotheses concerning \(\mu\) with regard to a reference value \(\mu_2\).

Let \(F_t\left(\cdot, \nu\right)\) denote the CDF (see section ref{tDistributionCDF}) and let \(t_{\nu,\alpha}\) denote the \(\alpha\)-quantile (see section ref{tDistributionQuantile}) of the \(t\)-distribution with \(\nu\) degrees of freedom. Define

\[t= \frac{\overline{x}_1-\mu_2}{s}, \quad s=\sqrt{s_1^2 /N}, \quad \nu=N-1.\]

Then \(p\)-values and rejection criteria for \(H_0\) can be calculated as summarized below

Test problem

\(p\)-value

Reject \(H_0\)

\(H_{01}: \mu_1\leq \mu_2\) vs \(H_{A1}: \mu_1> \mu_2\)

\(F_t\left(-t, \nu\right)\)

\(t > t_{\nu;1-\alpha}\)

\(H_{02}: \mu_1\geq \mu_2\) vs \(H_{A2}: \mu_1< \mu_2\)

\(F_t\left(t, \nu\right)\)

\(t > t_{\nu;\alpha}\)

\(H_{03}: \mu_1= \mu_2\) vs \(H_{A3}: \mu_1\neq \mu_2\)

\(F_t\left(t, \nu\right)-F_t\left(-t, \nu\right)\)

\(t > t_{\nu;1-\alpha/2}\) or \(t > t_{\nu;\alpha/2}\)

The test can also be expressed in terms of a correlation coefficient \(r\) between the combined \(X\) and an indicator variable, where \(t\) and \(r\) are related by

\[r=\frac{t}{\sqrt{t^2+\nu}}, \quad t= \nu \frac{r}{1-r^2}.\]

Pearson’s rho, 2 correlated samples: tests (p-values)#

ctx.pearson_rho_test(rho, rh0, n, alpha=0.05, rtype=1)#

where ctx is dec, mpm, or gmp.

Returns results of tests for Pearson’s rho, 2 correlated samples.

Parameters:

Mean:

The mean of the sample.

Mean0:

The reference mean.

Sd:

The standard deviation of the sample

N:

The sample size

Alpha:

The alpha-level used for confidence intervals

Let \((X_1, X_2, \ldots, X_N)\) denote a random sample of size \(N\) from a normal distribution with mean \(\rho\) and variance \(\sigma^2\), and let

\[\overline{x}_1 = \frac{1}{N} \sum_{i=1}^N X_i \quad \text{and } s^2 = \frac{1}{N-1} \sum_{i=1}^N (X_i - \overline{x}_1)\]

be the usual sample estimates of the unkown population mean \(\rho\) and unkown population variance \(\sigma^2\). Then Student’s t-test can be used to test hypotheses concerning \(\rho\) with regard to a reference value \(\rho_0\).

Let \(F_t\left(\cdot, \nu\right)\) denote the CDF (see section ref{tDistributionCDF}) and let \(t_{\nu,\alpha}\) denote the \(\alpha\)-quantile (see section ref{tDistributionQuantile}) of the \(t\)-distribution with \(\nu\) degrees of freedom. Define

\[t= \frac{\overline{x}_1-\rho_0}{s}, \quad s=\sqrt{s_1^2 /N}, \quad \nu=N-1.\]

Then \(p\)-values and rejection criteria for \(H_0\) can be calculated as summarized below

Test problem

\(p\)-value

Reject \(H_0\)

\(H_{01}: \rho \leq \rho_0\) vs \(H_{A1}: \rho > \rho_0\)

\(F_t\left(-t, \nu\right)\)

\(t > t_{\nu;1-\alpha}\)

\(H_{02}: \rho \geq \rho_0\) vs \(H_{A2}: \rho < \rho_0\)

\(F_t\left(t, \nu\right)\)

\(t > t_{\nu;\alpha}\)

\(H_{03}: \rho = \rho_0\) vs \(H_{A3}: \rho \neq \rho_0\)

\(F_t\left(t, \nu\right)-F_t\left(-t, \nu\right)\)

\(t > t_{\nu;1-\alpha/2}\) or \(t > t_{\nu;\alpha/2}\)

The test can also be expressed in terms of a correlation coefficient \(r\) between the combined \(X\) and an indicator variable, where \(t\) and \(r\) are related by

\[r=\frac{t}{\sqrt{t^2+\nu}}, \quad t= \nu \frac{r}{1-r^2}.\]

An actual call to the function, requesting Student’s t-test with description, the critical value for a two-sided test, the p-value for \(H_{03}\) (in the case of \(\textsf{TTest}\) this is \(\rho_1 \neq \rho_2\)), for 2 independent samples of size 10 and standard deviation 1 each, with means 2.3 and 4.5, and a type I error \(\alpha=0.05\) would be
