Jump to navigation Jump to search

The test statistic is:

t=x¯y¯s1m+1m

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,
s=deff(m1)sx2+(m1)sy2m+n2b,
b is 1 if Bessel's correction for Means is selected in Statistical Assumptions and 0 otherwise,
sx2 and sy2 are the sample variances in the two groups,
deff is Extra Deff.
p=2Pr(tn+m2|t|)
