twot.permutation: Two Sample Permutation Test - Obsolete
Description
This function computes the p-value for the two sample
t-test using a permutation test. The permutation density
can also be plotted.
Usage
twot.permutation(x1 = DAAG::two65$ambient, x2 = DAAG::two65$heated, nsim = 2000,
plotit = TRUE)
Value
The p-value for the test of the hypothesis that the mean of
x1
differs from x2
Arguments
- x1
Sample 1
- x2
Sample 2
- nsim
Number of simulations
- plotit
If TRUE, the permutation density will be plotted
Details
Suppose we have n1 values in one group and n2 in a
second, with n = n1 + n2. The permutation distribution
results from taking all possible samples of n2 values from
the total of n values.
