GcTest: Gaur's Gc Test

In npordtests: Nonparametric Tests for Equality of Location Against Ordered Alternatives

Description

GcTest performs Gaur's Gc test.

Usage

GcTest(formula, data, alpha = 0.05, na.rm = TRUE, verbose = TRUE, c = 2)

Arguments

formula	a formula of the form lhs ~ rhs where lhs gives the sample values and rhs the corresponding groups.
data	a data frame containing the variables in the formula formula
alpha	the level of significance to assess the statistical difference. Default is set to alpha = 0.05.
na.rm	a logical value indicating whether NA values should be stripped before the computation proceeds.
verbose	a logical for printing output to R console.
c	a integer value chosen from (1,..., min(n_i)) for subsample size. Default is set to c = 2.

Value

A list with class "owt" containing the following components:

statistic	the Gaur's Gc test statistic.
mean	the mean of the Gaur's Gc test statistic.
variance	the variance of the Gaur's Gc test statistic.
Z	the standardized test statistic.
p.value	the p-value of the test.
alpha	the level of significance.
method	the character string "Gaur's Gc test ".
data	a data frame containing the variables in which NA values (if exist) are removed.
formula	a formula of the form lhs ~ rhs where lhs gives the sample values and rhs the corresponding groups.
