The variable rowIndex is created by VOStat. This may be used as a time variable for time series data.

The following row(s) of the original data set have/has been deleted, because of missing value(s):

5, 6, 9, 16, 18, 19, 22, 23, 26, 34, 40, 45, 47, 53, 55, 62, 68, 72, 73, 74, 81, 84, 85, 86, 89, 91, 95, 96, 97, 98, 102, 103, 105, 107, 116, 117, 119, 137, 139, 140, 142

Estimating distribution from data

Comparing data with distributions

Some standard tests

  • One sample z-test to compare the mean of a variable with some given number. This test is applicable only if you know (or have a very good approximation for) the standard deviation of your variable. (Requires Gaussianity assumption.)
  • One sample t-test. Similar to above, except that you do not need to know the standard deviation. (Requires Gaussianity assumption.)
  • Paired t-test for comparing the means of two variables. (Requires Gaussianity assumption.)
  • Wilcoxon's signed rank test (1 sample). Much like one sample t-test, but without the Gaussianity assumption.
  • Wilcoxon's signed rank test (2 sample). Much like paired t-test, but without the Gaussianity assumption.
