Hotelling’s test
#
HypothesisTests.OneSampleHotellingT2Test
— Type
OneSampleHotellingT2Test(X::AbstractMatrix, μ₀=<zero vector>)
Perform a one sample Hotelling’s test of the hypothesis that the vector of column means of X
is equal to μ₀
.
OneSampleHotellingT2Test(X::AbstractMatrix, Y::AbstractMatrix, μ₀=<zero vector>)
Perform a paired Hotelling’s test of the hypothesis that the vector of mean column differences between X
and Y
is equal to μ₀
.
#
HypothesisTests.EqualCovHotellingT2Test
— Type
EqualCovHotellingT2Test(X::AbstractMatrix, Y::AbstractMatrix)
Perform a two sample Hotelling’s test of the hypothesis that the difference in the mean vectors of X
and Y
is zero, assuming that X
and Y
have equal covariance matrices.
#
HypothesisTests.UnequalCovHotellingT2Test
— Type
UnequalCovHotellingT2Test(X::AbstractMatrix, Y::AbstractMatrix)
Perform a two sample Hotelling’s test of the hypothesis that the difference in the mean vectors of X
and Y
is zero, without assuming that X
and Y
have equal covariance matrices.
Equality of covariance matrices
Bartlett’s test for equality of two covariance matrices is provided. This is equivalent to Box’s -test for two groups.
#
HypothesisTests.BartlettTest
— Type
BartlettTest(X::AbstractMatrix, Y::AbstractMatrix)
Perform Bartlett’s test of the hypothesis that the covariance matrices of X
and Y
are equal.
Bartlett’s test is sensitive to departures from multivariate normality. |
Correlation and partial correlation test
#
HypothesisTests.CorrelationTest
— Type
CorrelationTest(x, y)
Perform a t-test for the hypothesis that , i.e. the correlation of vectors x
and y
is zero.
CorrelationTest(x, y, Z)
Perform a t-test for the hypothesis that , i.e. the partial correlation of vectors x
and y
given the matrix Z
is zero.
Implements pvalue
for the t-test. Implements confint
using an approximate confidence interval based on Fisher’s -transform.

from StatsBase.
