Bootstrap 2-sample mean test for (hyper-)spherical data: Bootstrap 2-sample mean test for (hyper-)spherical data
Description
Bootstrap 2-sample mean test for (hyper-)spherical data.
Usage
hcf.boot(x1, x2, fc = TRUE, B = 999)
lr.boot(x1, x2, B = 999)
hclr.boot(x1, x2, B = 999)
embed.boot(x1, x2, B = 999)
het.boot(x1, x2, B = 999)
Value
This is an "htest"class object. Thus it returns a list including:
statistic
The test statistic value.
parameter
The degrees of freedom of the test. Since these are bootstrap based tests this is "NA".
p.value
The p-value of the test.
alternative
A character with the alternative hypothesis.
method
A character with the test used.
data.name
A character vector with two elements.
Arguments
x1
A matrix with the data in Euclidean coordinates, i.e. unit vectors.
x2
A matrix with the data in Euclidean coordinates, i.e. unit vectors.
fc
A boolean that indicates whether a corrected F test should be used or not.
B
The number of bootstraps to perform.

Details
The high concentration (hcf.boot), log-likelihood ratio (lr.boot), high concentration
log-likelihood ratio (hclr.boot), embedding approach (embed.boot) or the non equal
concentration parameters approach (het.boot) is used.
