Description

Performs a two sample full randomization test on vectors of data.

Usage

1
frt(x, y, alternative = "two.sided")

Arguments

x

a numeric vector

y

a numeric vector

alternative

a character string specifying the alternative hypothesis, must be one of "two.sided" (default), "greater" or "less". You can specify just the initial letter.

Details

The function tests all the (n + m)! / n!m! possible arrangements, where n and m are the lengths of x and y respectively. This number (just as computational times and memory requirements) grows extremely fast with n and m.

Value

numeric

the probability of the null hypothesis of no difference between means.
