Bootstrap James and Hotelling test for 2 independent sample mean vectors

Description

Bootstrap James and Hotelling test for 2 independent sample mean vectors.

Usage

boot.james(y1, y2, R = 999)
boot.hotel2(y1, y2, R = 999)

Arguments

y1	A numerical matrix with the data of the one sample.
y2	A numerical matrix with the data of the other sample.
R	The number of bootstrap samples to use.

Details

We bootstrap the 2-samples James (does not assume equal covariance matrics) and Hotelling test (assumes equal covariance matrics). The difference is that the Hotelling test statistic assumes equaility of the covariance matrices, which if violated leads to inlfated type I errors. Bootstrap calibration though takes care of this issue. As for the bootstrap calibration, instead of sampling B times from each sample, we sample sqrt{B} from each of them and then take all pairs. Each bootstrap sample is independent of each other, hence there is no violation of the theory (Chatzipantsiou et al., 2019).

Value

The bootstrap p-value.
