GRAPHS, TABLES AND R FUNCTIONS FOR A NEARLY UNBIASED TEST FOR TWO-SIDED RELEVANT DIFFERENCE
Martin Bachmaier
|
Abstract: This article first emphasizes the necessity of respecting relevance when performing two-sided statistical tests. Then it refers to a preceding article, where such a test for relevant difference in means has been derived on the basis of a differential approach. It illustrates its rejection region related to a standardization of the test variable, so that a suitable comparison with the critical region of the t-test is enabled. Additionally, tables to apply the published test for relevant difference are presented, and an R program and more detailed tables are offered for download from the Internet. |
Keywords and phrases: relevant difference, unbiased, heterogeneous variances, partial differential equation, series solution, Behrens-Fisher problem, tables, R program. |
