EnvStats (version 2.3.0)

gofTwoSample.object: S3 Class "gofTwoSample"

Description

Objects of S3 class "gofTwoSample" are returned by the EnvStats function gofTest when both the x and y arguments are supplied.

Value

Required Components The following components must be included in a legitimate list of class "gofTwoSample".

distribution

a character string with the value "Equal".

statistic

a numeric scalar with a names attribute containing the name and value of the goodness-of-fit statistic.

sample.size

a numeric scalar containing the number of non-missing observations in the sample used for the goodness-of-fit test.

parameters

numeric vector with a names attribute containing the name(s) and value(s) of the parameter(s) associated with the test statistic given in the statistic component.

p.value

numeric scalar containing the p-value associated with the goodness-of-fit statistic.

alternative

character string indicating the alternative hypothesis.

method

character string indicating the name of the goodness-of-fit test.

data

a list of length 2 containing the numeric vectors actually used for the goodness-of-fit test (i.e., the original data but with any missing or infinite values removed).

data.name

a character vector of length 2 indicating the name of the data object used for the x argument and the name of the data object used for the y argument in the goodness-of-fit test.

Optional Component The following component is included when the arguments x and/or y contain missing (NA), undefined (NaN) and/or infinite (Inf, -Inf) values.

bad.obs

numeric vector of length 2 indicating the number of missing (NA), undefined (NaN) and/or infinite (Inf, -Inf) values that were removed from the data in the x and y arguments prior to performing the goodness-of-fit test.

Methods

Generic functions that have methods for objects of class "gofTwoSample" include: print, plot.

Details

Objects of S3 class "gofTwoSample" are lists that contain information about the assumed distribution, the estimated or user-supplied distribution parameters, and the test statistic and p-value.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
  # Create an object of class "gofTwoSample", then print it out. 

  # Generate 20 observations from a normal distribution with mean=3 and sd=2, and 
  # generate 10 observaions from a normal distribution with mean=2 and sd=2 then 
  # test whether these sets of observations come from the same distribution.
  # (Note: the call to set.seed simply allows you to reproduce this example.)

  set.seed(300) 
  dat1 <- rnorm(20, mean = 3, sd = 2) 
  dat2 <- rnorm(10, mean = 1, sd = 2) 
  gofTest(x = dat1, y = dat2, test = "ks")
