Overview

About

Gives some hypothesis test functions (sign test, median and other quantile tests, Wilcoxon signed rank test, coefficient of variation test, test of normal variance, test on weighted sums of Poisson [see Fay and Kim doi:10.1002/bimj.201600111], sample size for t-tests with different variances and non-equal n per arm, Behrens-Fisher test, nonparametric ABC intervals, Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test [with effect estimates and confidence intervals, see Fay and Malinovsky doi:10.1002/sim.7890], two-sample melding tests [see Fay, Proschan, and Brittain doi:10.1111/biom.12231], one-way ANOVA allowing var.equal=FALSE [see Brown and Forsythe, 1974, Biometrics]), prevalence confidence intervals that adjust for sensitivity and specificity [see Lang and Reiczigel, 2014 doi:10.1016/j.prevetmed.2013.09.015] or Bayer, Fay, and Graubard, 2023 doi:10.48550/arXiv.2205.13494). The focus is on hypothesis tests that have compatible confidence intervals, but some functions only have confidence intervals (e.g., prevSeSp).
