mle.hetero is used to perform Lin and Stivers's MLE- based test under heteroscedasticity for partially matched samples, specified by giving a data frame matrix, testing hypothesis, true mean and confidence level.

mle.hetero(
  data,
  alternative = c("two.sided", "less", "greater"),
  mu = 0,
  conf.level = 0.95,
  ...
)

`data`	a 2-by-n or n-by-2 partially matched pairs samples data frame or matrix.
`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.
`mu`	a number indicating the true difference in means.
`conf.level`	confidence level for the returned confidence interval.
`...`	further arguments to be passed to or from methods.

Whether the dataset input is partially matched samples will be checked. If not, appropriate hypothesis tests, such as one and two sample t-tests, will be performed instead.

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

`statistic`	the value of the test statistic.
`parameter`	the degrees of freedom of the test statistic or NA.
`p.value`	the p-value of the test.
`conf.int`	a confidence interval for the mean appropriate to the specified alternative hypothesis.
`estimate`	the estimated mean or difference in means.
`null.value`	the specified hypothesized value of the mean or mean difference.
`stderr`	the standard error of the mean (difference).
`alternative`	a character string describing the alternative hypothesis.
`method`	a character string indicating what type of test was performed.
`data.name`	a character string giving the name(s) of the data.
