STUDENT’S t-TEST WITHOUT SYMMETRY CONDITIONS
نویسنده
چکیده
An explicit representation of an arbitrary zero-mean distribution as the mixture of (at-most-)two-point zero-mean distributions is given. Based in this representation, tests for (i) asymmetry patterns and (ii) for location without symmetry conditions can be constructed. Exact inequalities implying conservative properties of such tests are presented. These developments extend results established earlier by Efron, Eaton, and Pinelis under a symmetry condition.

Student’s t-test for scale mixture errors
Generalized t-tests are constructed under weaker than normal conditions. In the first part of this paper we assume only the symmetry (around zero) of the error distribution (i). In the second part we assume that the error distribution is a Gaussian scale mixture (ii). The optimal (smallest) critical values can be computed from generalizations of Student’s cumulative distribution function (cdf),...
متن کاملA Statistical Model for Indoor Small Scale Fading Statistics Based on the Student’s t-Distribution
A modified Student’s t distribution is suggested for small scale fading statistics in line of sight and non line of sight conditions where the number of scatterers is small, and the central limit theorem does not hold. The new model is superior to the previously suggested POCA distribution, and has the natural characteristic of radial symmetry. The new model was tested against channel response ...
متن کاملThe bread and butter of statistical analysis “t-test”: Uses and misuses
Statistical tests are very important in biomedical research.1 Several factors play a role in selecting the most appropriate statistical test.2 The misuse or inaccurate use of a statistical test may navigate the research in the wrong direction, and hence incorrect conclusions. Because it is probably the most commonly used statistical test, Student’s t-test is considered “the bread and butter” of...
متن کاملPlasma zinc concentration and children's infectious diseases
Results During 2009-2011, 98 healthy children, 0-3 years old, from Bihor county, Romania, were enrolled in the study. A total of 96 children recruited were available for analysis. In the study group (n=96) the mean plasma concentration of zinc was 15.33±1.49 μmol/L. Subjects with more than 3 episodes of acute respiratory infections/year had a statistically significant lower value of plasma conc...

Objective Weight-bearing asymmetry is one of the main causes of balance disturbances in patients with hemiparesis and could cause standing problems and gait abnormalities for them. The purpose of this study was to investigate the immediate effects of wearing unilateral textured insoles on the symmetry of weight bearing during standing and gait parameters of patients with chronic ...
