#' @title Looney and Jones's Corrected Z-Test
#' @description \code{corrected.z} is used to perform Looney and Jones's
#' corrected Z-test for partially matched samples, specified by giving a data
#' frame or matrix, testing hypothesis, true mean and confidence level.
#' @param data a 2-by-n or n-by-2 partially matched pairs samples data frame or
#' matrix.
#' @param 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.
#' @param mu a number indicating the true difference in means.
#' @param conf.level confidence level for the returned confidence interval.
#' @param ... further arguments to be passed to or from methods.
#' @details 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.
#' @return A list with class "htest" containing the following components:
#' \item{\code{statistic}}{the value of the test statistic.}
#' \item{\code{parameter}}{the degrees of freedom of the test statistic or
#' NA.} \item{\code{p.value}}{the p-value of the test.}
#' \item{\code{conf.int}}{a confidence interval for the mean appropriate to
#' the specified alternative hypothesis.} \item{\code{estimate}}{the estimated
#' mean or difference in means.} \item{\code{null.value}}{the specified
#' hypothesized value of the mean or mean difference.}
#' \item{\code{stderr}}{the standard error of the mean (difference).}
#' \item{\code{alternative}}{a character string describing the alternative
#' hypothesis.} \item{\code{method}}{a character string indicating what type
#' of test was performed.} \item{\code{data.name}}{a character string giving
#' the name(s) of the data.}
