twot.permutation: Two Sample Permutation Test - Obsolete

In jhmaindonald/DAAG: Data Analysis and Graphics Data and Functions

Description

This function computes the p-value for the two sample t-test using a permutation test. The permutation density can also be plotted.

Usage

twot.permutation(x1 = DAAG::two65$ambient, x2 = DAAG::two65$heated, nsim = 2000,
plotit = TRUE)

Arguments

x1	Sample 1
x2	Sample 2
nsim	Number of simulations
plotit	If TRUE, the permutation density will be plotted

Details

Suppose we have n1 values in one group and n2 in a second, with n = n1 + n2. The permutation distribution results from taking all possible samples of n2 values from the total of n values.

Value

The p-value for the test of the hypothesis that the mean of x1 differs from x2
