stat.t: T-test on data frame

In SebastianSosa/ANTs: Animal Network Toolkit Software

T-test on data frame

Description

Performs correlations T-test through observed and permuted data to calculate the p-value on the posterior distribution

Usage

stat.t(
  ant,
  formula,
  alternative = "two.sided",
  na.action = na.omit,
  mu = 0,
  paired = FALSE,
  var.equal = FALSE,
  progress = TRUE
)

Arguments

ant	an output of ANT function perm.net.nl without any random factor declared, or output of ANT 'met' categories functions in which output of ANT functions perm.ds.focal, perm.ds.grp or perm.net.lk where single matrix have been used.
formula	a formula of the form lhs ~ rhs where lhs is a numeric variable giving the data values and rhs a factor with two levels giving the corresponding groups.
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.
na.action	a function which indicates what should happen when the data contain NAs. Defaults to getOption("na.action").
mu	a number indicating the true value of the mean (or difference in means if you are performing a two sample test).
paired	a logical indicating whether you want a paired t-test.
var.equal	a logical variable indicating whether to treat the two variances as being equal. If TRUE then the pooled variance is used to estimate the variance otherwise the Welch (or Satterthwaite) approximation to the degrees of freedom is used.
progress	a boolean indicating the visualization of the permutation process.

Details

t-test on permuted data allows to extract the posterior distribution of the value of interest. The posterior distribution allows to calculate the p-value. For more details about t-tests, see R documentation.

Value

a data frame with 2 columns: the t statistic, the met.degree of freedom, the confidence interval for var1 and 2, and the estimates for var1 and var2

Examples

t=met.strength(sim.m,sim.df,1) # Computing network metric
t=perm.net.nl(t,labels='age',rf=NULL,nperm=10,progress=FALSE) # Node label permutations
r.t=stat.t(t,formula = strength ~ sex,progress=FALSE) # Permuted t-test
