This was sent to me by someone on the R-list ( I don't know her ) but I don't have time to look at this right now so I told her I would send it to the R-list because she said it keeps getting bounced when she sends it. #======================================================================= ====================================================================
I am a bit confused with this. If possible do you think you can help me with this? function(yvec,trtvec,alpha=0.05,header="") { ################################################# # A function to compute a two-sample t-test and confidence # interval (equal-variance, independent samples). yvec is # a numeric vector containing both samples' data. trtvec # is a vector, same length as yvec, of treatment # identifiers for the data in yvec. A boxplot comparing # the treatments' data is constructed. Output is a one-row # data frame reporting the results of the test and # confidence interval ################################################## trtvec=as.factor(trtvec) boxplot(split(yvec,trtvec)) title(header) ybar=tapply(yvec,trtvec,mean) varvec=tapply(yvec,trtvec,var) nvec=table(trtvec) error.df=nvec[1]+nvec[2]-2 pooled.var=((nvec[1]-1)*varvec[1]+(nvec[2]-1)*varvec[2])/error.df diff12estimate=ybar[1]-ybar[2] stderr=sqrt(pooled.var*((1/nvec[1])+(1/nvec[2]))) tratio=diff12estimate/stderr twosidedP=2*(1-pt(abs(tratio),error.df)) tcrit=qt(1-alpha/2,error.df) lower=diff12estimate-tcrit*stderr upper=diff12estimate+tcrit*stderr calpha=1-alpha out=data.frame(diff12estimate,stderr,tratio,twosidedP,lower,upper,alpha) names(out)=c("Estimator","SE","T","P-value","Lower CI","Upper CI","Confidence") out } I need to alter the above function twosamp so that its output includes the decision made by the hypothesis test. For any alpha level, the function should say ' Reject Null' or 'Fail to Reject Null' where it is necessary. Use a new 3-level input factor alternative so that the function twosamp(above) can compute both two-sided and one-sided p-values and make the two-sided test the default and output information about which alternative was tested. Therefore ifelse should work here right. Use the following code Var.test(yvec~as.factor(trtvec))$p.value>alpha. If the variances are not equal then use Sqrt((varvec[1]/nvec[1])+(varvec[2]/nvec[2])) Ifelse should be used to allow for either standard error formula, depending on whether the equal-variances assumption is valid or not. How can I change the output from a data frame to a list? -------------------------------------------------------- This is not an offer (or solicitation of an offer) to buy/sell the securities/instruments mentioned or an official confirmation.
