Previous: Student's t Distribution
- The corresponding efficiency/contamination are trivially
calculable from cumulative probability functions of the student's t
distribution.
- As discussed on page 168 of Brandt, this method can be adapted
(use average
) to test if two sets of measurements
have the same mean
(e.g., Set 1: Smokers, Set 2: Non-Smokers)
- Above, we show the regions with
(level of significance)
and 
(contamination), defined earlier.
