ttest2e

Purpose

Two sample t-test (assuming equal variance).

Synopsis

 

result = ttest2e(x,y,test)

Description

Calculates a two sample t-test for samples (x) and (y) assuming equal variance.

Inputs:

            x =   matrix (column vector) in which the sample data is stored.

            y =   matrix (column vector) in which the sample data is stored.

        ttest =   [-1,{0},1] indicates what ttest is for:

                                          -1 - lower tail   H0: mean(x) <= mean(y)

                                    0 - wo-tail     H0: mean(x) ~= mean(y) {default}

                                           1 - upper tail   H0: mean(x) >= mean(y)

Outputs:

The output (result) a structure with the following fields:

            t =   test statistic.

            p =   probability value

        mean1 =   mean of x

        mean2 =   mean of y

         var1 =   variance of x

         var2 =   variance of y

           n1 =   length of x

           n2 =   length of y

          pse =   pooled standard error

           df =   degress of freedom

          hyp =   hypothesis being tested


Examples

 

result = ttest2e(x,y);

result = ttest2e(x,y,test);
