t-test
t-test
-
The most common use comparison test between two subset of data
-
For Example try to make hypothesis that left-hand and right-hand have no different batting average
-
t-test is used to approve or decline our null hypothesis, while t-test is parametric test in our statisitic significance test.
-
NULL Hypothesis, is hypothesis for our data to be asked, if both of our data is similar? or the sample acquired through data that drawn from normal distribution(same population).
-
By doing t-test we reduce all the comparison test to one number only, the t value
-
if only contain 1 sample, compare average, to average sample 0
-
if two samples, compare average 0 to average 1.
-
t-value denotes how extreme our results, and probabilty it will reject out null hypothesis
-
the v value denotes how many variable took into t calculations
-
-
the p value produced by t and v, will then the value that will determine our hypothesis accepted based in our null hypothesis was true
-
suppose we want to know the difference batting avg left and right, giveb our null hypothesis both no different
-
then if pvalue 0.5, the variance between t and v at least 5% at extreme.
-
pcritical acts like some kind of threshold value. and it will determine whether our null hypothesis is accepted
-
this threshold value will be quite tedious if we set it manually. rather, it can be done automatically.
-
by specifyinhg equal-var=true, the calculations will be exactly the same as welch's t-test
-
it will return a tuple, t and p value
-
we can do it by comparing the sample with one another
-
for our null hypothesis set to true, p must be less than p critical
-
Basic implementation Welch's t-test with python
