Methods

IconTypeDescription
CalculateStatistic()
Calculates the value of the statistic used for this test.
Equals(Object)
Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object.
Finalize()
Allows an Object to attempt to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection.
GetConfidenceInterval(Double)
Returns the confidence interval for the test parameter for the specified confidence level.
GetHashCode()
Serves as a hash function for a particular type.
GetLowerCriticalValue()
Gets the lower critical value for the hypothesis test's current significance level.
GetLowerCriticalValue(Double)
Gets the lower critical value for the hypothesis test at the specified significance level.
GetType()
Gets the Type of the current instance.
GetUpperCriticalValue()
Gets the upper critical value for the test statistic at the hypothesis test's current significance level.
GetUpperCriticalValue(Double)
Gets the upper critical value for the test statistic at the specified significance level.
MemberwiseClone()
Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.
Reject()
Returns a value that indicates whether the null hypothesis is rejected using the default significance level.
Reject(Double)
Returns a value that indicates whether the null hypothesis is rejected using the specified significance level.
ToString()
Returns a String that represents the current Object.

Properties

IconTypeDescription
Count1
Gets or sets the number of observations of the first sample.
Count2
Gets or sets the number of observations of the second sample.
Difference
Gets or sets the proposed difference between the two means.
Distribution
Sets the probability distribution used in the hypothesis test.
HypothesisType
Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the test is one or two-tailed.
Mean1
Gets or sets the mean of the first sample.
Mean2
Gets or sets the mean of the second sample.
Pairing
Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the test is paired or unpaired.
PValue
Gets the probability that the test statistic would take on the calculated value under the null hypothesis.
Sample1
Gets or sets the first NumericalVariable this test is being applied to.
Sample2
Gets or sets the second NumericalVariable this test is being applied to.
SignificanceLevel
Gets the significance level used to test the null hypothesis.
Statistic
Gets the value of the test statistic.
Variance1
Gets or sets the variance of the first sample.
Variance2
Gets or sets the variance of the second sample.
VarianceAssumption
Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the variances of the two samples are assumed to be equal.

Remarks

Use the TwoSampleTTest class to test the hypothesis that the difference between two population means are equal to a specific value.

The test can be either paired or unpaired. In a paired test, each observation in the first sample has a corresponding observation in the second sample.

An example of an unpaired test is one that compares the average height of men and women by choosing random samples of each group. An example of an unpaired test is one that compares the height of fathers to that of their sons.
