Sorry for posting to the R list. P Q 12, 28 10, 42 2, 5 1, 55 32, 50 22, 63 ..... there are 10000 points of P and Q. The number of points of P and Q are equal (i,e 10000).
The interval P always overlaps with Q. i,e start1<start2 and end1<end2. mere calculating whether points have this condition will not be significant start1<start2 and end1<end2 and the length of P that is length(end1-start1) and Q ie length(end2-start1) differs. Example Case A: start2-start1 =2 end2-end1 = 3 Case B: start2 - start1 =100 end2-end1 = 2 In the above two cases, P is falling on the right end of Q in case B. But it depends on the length(end2-start2). If the length(end2-start2) =15000 in case of B, then it is almost on the middle point. Is there any test or function in R to bring a statistically significant conclusion that midpoint of P or P itself is falling on the left end or right end of Q. sorry once again for posting in this list.
