Independent Samples t-Test - Comparing Two Means with Unequal Variances

From Q
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The test statistic is:

t=x¯y¯sx2m+sy2n

where:

x¯ and x¯ are the average values of variables x and y respectively, where each of these variables represents the data from two independent groups,
the groups have sample sizes of m and n respectively,
sx2 and sy2 are the variances in the two groups,
p=2Pr(tv|t|),
v=(sx2n+sy2m)2(sx2n/deff)2nb+(sy2m/deff)2mb,
b is 1 if Bessel's correction is selected for Means in Statistical Assumptions and 0 otherwise,
deff is Extra Deff.
