tnl_Test

library(tnl.Test)

The goal of tnl.Test is to provide functions to perform the hypothesis tests for the two sample problem based on order statistics and power comparisons.

Installation

You can install the released version of tnl.Test from CRAN with:

install.packages("tnl.Test")

Alternatively, you can install the development version on GitHub using the devtools package:

install.packages("devtools") # if you have not installed "devtools" package
devtools::install_github("ihababusaif/tnl.Test")

Details

A non-parametric two-sample test is performed for testing null hypothesis H0 : F = G against the alternative hypothesis H1 : F ≠ G. The assumptions of the Tn(ℓ) test are that both samples should come from a continuous distribution and the samples should have the same sample size.
Missing values are silently omitted from x and y.
Exact and simulated p-values are available for the Tn(ℓ) test. If exact =“NULL” (the default) the p-value is computed based on exact distribution when the sample size is less than 11. Otherwise, p-value is computed based on a Monte Carlo simulation. If exact =“TRUE”, an exact p-value is computed. If exact=“FALSE”, a Monte Carlo simulation is performed to compute the p-value. It is recommended to calculate the p-value by a Monte Carlo simulation (use exact=“FALSE”), as it takes too long to calculate the exact p-value when the sample size is greater than 10.
The probability mass function (pmf), cumulative density function (cdf) and quantile function of Tn(ℓ) are also available in this package, and the above-mentioned conditions about exact =“NULL”, exact =“TRUE” and exact=“FALSE” is also valid for these functions.
Exact distribution of Tn(ℓ) test is also computed under Lehman alternative.
Random number generator of Tn(ℓ) test statistic are provided under null hypothesis in the library.
