Purpose

One sample t-test.

Synopsis

result = ttest1(x,mu,test)

Description

Calculates a one sample t-test for sample (x). INPUTS:

  • x = The name of a matrix (column vector) in which the sample data is stored.
  • mu = scalar, the null hypthesis value for the mean {default = 0}.
  • ttest = [-1,{0},1] indicates what ttest is for:
  • -1 - lower tail H0: mean(x) <= mean(y)
  • 0 - wo-tail H0: mean(x) \~= mean(y) {default}
  • 1 - upper tail H0: mean(x) >= mean(y)

OUTPUTS: The output (result) a structure with the following fields:

  • t = test statistic.
  • p = probability value
  • mean = mean of x
  • var = variance of x
  • n = length of x
  • se = standard error
  • df = degress of freedom
  • hyp = hypothesis being tested

Examples

result = ttest1(x); result = ttest1(x,mu); result = ttest1(x,mu,test);
