  2. Sample size determination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sample_size_determination

    The table shown on the right can be used in a two-sample t-test to estimate the sample sizes of an experimental group and a control group that are of equal size, that is, the total number of individuals in the trial is twice that of the number given, and the desired significance level is 0.05. [4] The parameters used are:

  3. Student's t-test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student's_t-test

    [27] [29] [30] The nonparametric counterpart to the paired samples t-test is the Wilcoxon signed-rank test for paired samples. For a discussion on choosing between the t-test and nonparametric alternatives, see Lumley, et al. (2002). [19] One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) generalizes the two-sample t-test when the data belong to more than ...

  4. Welch's t-test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welch's_t-test

    Student's t-test assumes that the sample means being compared for two populations are normally distributed, and that the populations have equal variances. Welch's t-test is designed for unequal population variances, but the assumption of normality is maintained. [1] Welch's t-test is an approximate solution to the Behrens–Fisher problem.

  5. PS Power and Sample Size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PS_Power_and_Sample_Size

    The program provides methods that are appropriate for matched and independent t-tests, [2] survival analysis, [5] matched [6] and unmatched [7] [8] studies of dichotomous events, the Mantel-Haenszel test, [9] and linear regression. [3] The program can generate graphs of the relationships between power, sample size and the detectable alternative ...

  6. Power (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_(statistics)

    Lehr's [3] [4] (rough) rule of thumb says that the sample size (for each group) for the common case of a two-sided two-sample t-test with power 80% (=) and significance level = should be: , where is an estimate of the population variance and = the to-be-detected difference in the mean values of both samples.

  7. Student's t-distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student's_t-distribution

    The Student's t distribution plays a role in a number of widely used statistical analyses, including Student's t test for assessing the statistical significance of the difference between two sample means, the construction of confidence intervals for the difference between two population means, and in linear regression analysis.

  8. Test statistic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_statistic

    the value of T can be compared with its expected value under the null hypothesis of 50, and since the sample size is large, a normal distribution can be used as an approximation to the sampling distribution either for T or for the revised test statistic T−50.

  9. t-statistic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-statistic

    Most frequently, t statistics are used in Student's t-tests, a form of statistical hypothesis testing, and in the computation of certain confidence intervals. The key property of the t statistic is that it is a pivotal quantity – while defined in terms of the sample mean, its sampling distribution does not depend on the population parameters, and thus it can be used regardless of what these ...
