empirical_mu_one_way: Test the equality of means of an unknown distribution.

In gmcmacran/MLTesteR: Likelihood Ratio Tests and Confidence Intervals

Test the equality of means of an unknown distribution.

Description

Test the equality of means of an unknown distribution.

Usage

empirical_mu_one_way(x, fctr, conf.level = 0.95)

Arguments

x	a numeric vector.
fctr	a factor vector indicating groups.
conf.level	overall confidence level of the likelihood intervals. Uses Bonferroni correction.

Details

• Null: All mus are equal. (mu1 = mu2 ... muk).

• Alternative: At least one mu is not equal.

Value

An S3 class containing the test statistic, p value, list of likelihood based confidence intervals, overall confidence level, individual confidence level of each interval and alternative hypothesis.

# Null is true

fctr <- c(rep(1, 25), rep(2, 25), rep(3, 25))
fctr <- factor(fctr, levels = c("1", "2", "3"))
empirical_mu_one_way(x, fctr, .95)
