Independent Complex Samples t-Test - Comparing Two Means

From Q
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Where x¯ and y¯ are the two means and sx¯ and sy¯ are their Standard Errors, the test statistic is:

t=x¯y¯sx¯2+sy¯2,

where:

p=2Pr(tv|t|),
v=(sx¯2+sy¯2)2sx¯4nb+sy¯4mb
the groups have sample sizes of m and n respectively (or effective sample sizes if a design effect has been specified),
b is 1 if Bessel's correction is selected for Means in Statistical Assumptions and 0 otherwise.
