TMtxHypothesisTest Class

Encapsulates parametric and non-parametric hypothesis testing routines.

Encapsulates parametric and non-parametric hypothesis testing routines. Many problems in engineering require that we decide whether to accept or reject a statement about some parameter. The statement is called a hypothesis and the decision-making procedure about the hypothesis is called hypothesis testing.

The following hypothesis tests are supported:

• one or two sample Sign test,
• one or two sample Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test,
• one or two sample (on pooled or paired data) T test,
• one sample Z test,
• one sample ChiSquared test,
• two sample F test.

How to use TMtxHypothesisTest component?

• Drop a TMtxHypothesisTest component on the form.
• Define the hypothesis test you want to perform (Sign, Wilcoxon, Z, T, ChiSquared, F).
• Define hypothesis type (the null hypothesis type) : two, left or right tailed.
• Depending on hypothesis method define one or two sample datasets. You can do this by clicking on TMtxHypothesisTest::DataVec1 (and TMtxHypothesisTest::DataVec2) properties.
• Depending on hypothesis method you'll also have to define test mean (and in Z, F Test case sigma) property.
• Define the desired significance level TMtxHypothesisTest::Alpha.
• Call the TMtxHypothesisTest::Recalc method to calculate hypothesis test results.

Results:

• TMtxHypothesisTest::Result : The hypothesis result (accept, reject null hypothesis).
• TMtxHypothesisTest::Significance : actual significance level.
• TMtxHypothesisTest::ConfLower,TMtxHypothesisTest::ConfUpper : 100*(1-Alpha) confidence interval limits for mean (median, standard deviation).
