In EL: Two-Sample Empirical Likelihood

Empirical likelihood test for the difference of two sample means

Description

Empirical likelihood inference for the difference of two sample means. This includes a test for the null hypothesis for a constant difference of mean difference, confidence interval and EL estimator.

Usage

EL.means(X, Y, mu = 0, conf.level = 0.95)

Arguments

X	a vector of data values.
Y	a vector of data values.
mu	a number specifying the null hypothesis.
conf.level	confidence level of the interval.

Value

A list of class 'htest' containing the following components:

estimate	the empirical likelihood estimate of the mean difference.
conf.int	a confidence interval for the mean difference.
p.value	the p-value for the test.
statistic	the value of the test statistic.
method	the character string 'Empirical likelihood mean difference test'.
null.value	the specified hypothesized value of mean differences 'mu' under the null hypothesis.
data.name	a character string giving the names of the data.
