KOLMOGOROV-SMIRNOV TEST (NORMALITY)

Input data: Numeric data arranged in column to test normality ;

Significance level area: Choose the significance level which is defined as the probability of rejecting a null hypothesis by the test;

Main comands area: Select "OK" to return the results of normality test, "Clear contents" to exclude data entered and results obtained, and "Return" to return to selection screen of the statistical module;

Preliminary results: Area intended to show all results of each calculation step;

Results area: Area that synthesizes and shows all important test results (Dn value, pvalue and conclusion)

VARIANCE TEST

Input data 1 and 2: Numeric data arranged in column to test variance ;

Type of test:

  • One variance (Chi-Square test): Compares sample variance from Input data set 1 with null hypotheses variance.
  • Two variances (F-test): Compare variance between the two input data sets.

Significance level area: Choose the significance level which is defined as the probability of rejecting a null hypothesis by the test;

Null hypothesis (Ho):

  • One variance (Chi-Square test): You must enter the null hypothesis value ;
  • Two variances (F-test): Automatically entered null hypothesis (population variance = 1.0)

Alternative hypothesis (Ha):

  • Two-tailed
    • For Chi-Square test (Ha: σ ≠ σ0 and Ho:σ = σ0)
    • For F-test (Ha: σ1 ≠ σ2 and Ho: σ1 = σ2)
  • Lower-tailed
    • For Chi-Square test (Ha: σ < σ0 and Ho:σ ≥ σ0)
    • For F-test (Ha: σ1 < σ2 and Ho: σ1 ≥ σ2)
  • Upper-tailed
    • For Chi-Square test (Ha: σ > σ0 and Ho:σ ≤ σ0)
    • For F-test (Ha: σ1 > σ2 and Ho: σ1 ≤ σ2)

where σ is sampled variance, σ0 is variance under null hypothesis, σ1 and σ2 variances of two sampled groups.

Other commands: Select "Calculate" to return the results of variance test, "Clear contents" to exclude data entered, and "Return" to return to selection screen of the statistical module;

MEAN TEST

Input data 1 and 2: Numeric data arranged in column to mean test ;

Type of test:

  • One-sample: Compares sampled mean from Input data set 1 with null hypotheses mean (µ0).
  • Independent samples (Equal variances): Compare mean between the two input data sets (µ1 and µ2).
  • Independent samples (Different variances): Compares mean between the two input data sets (µ1 and µ2)
  • Paired: Compares if the mean difference between input data set 1 and input data set 2 is equal to 0 (µD).

Significance level area: Choose the significance level which is defined as the probability of rejecting a null hypothesis by the test;

Null hypothesis (Ho):

  • One-sample: You must enter the null hypothesis value µ0
  • Independent samples (Equal variances): Automatically entered null hypothesis (µ1 - µ2 ≤ or ≥ or = 0.0).
  • Independent samples (Different variances): Automatically entered null hypothesis (µ1 - µ2 ≤ or ≥ or = 0.0).
  • Paired: Automatically entered null hypothesis (µD ≤ or ≥ or = 0.0).

Alternative hypothesis (Ha):

  • Two-tailed
    • For one-sample (Ha: µ ≠ µ0 and Ho: µ = µ0)
    • For Independent samples (Ha: µ1- µ2 ≠0 and Ho: µ1- µ2 =0)
    • For paired (Ha: µD ≠ 0 and Ho: µD = 0)
  • Lower-tailed
    • For one-sample (Ha: µ < µ0 and Ho: µ ≥ µ0)
    • For Independent samples (Ha: µ1- µ2 <0 and Ho: µ1- µ2 ≥0)
    • For paired (Ha: µD < 0 and Ho: µD ≥ 0)
  • Upper-tailed
    • For one-sample (Ha: µ > µ0 and Ho: µ ≤ µ0)
    • For Independent samples (Ha: µ1- µ2 >0 and Ho: µ1- µ2 ≤0)
    • For paired (Ha: µD > 0 and Ho: µD ≤0)

where µ is sampled mean, µ0 is mean under null hypothesis, µ1 and µ2 means of two sampled groups.

Other commands: Select "Calculate" to return the results of mean test, "Clear contents" to exclude data entered, and "Return" to return to selection screen of the statistical module;

WILCOXON TEST (MEDIAN TEST)

Input data 1 and 2: Numeric data arranged in column to mean test ;

Type of test:

  • One-sample: Compares sampled median from Input data set 1 with null hypotheses mean (θ0).
  • Independent samples: Compares medians between the two input data sets (θ1 and θ2).
  • Paired: Compares if the median difference between input data set 1 and input data set 2 is equal to 0 (θD).

Significance level area: Choose the significance level which is defined as the probability of rejecting a null hypothesis by the test;

Null hypothesis (Ho):

  • One-sample: You must enter the null hypothesis value θ0
  • Independent samples (Different variances): Automatically entered null hypothesis (θ1 - θ2 ≤ or ≥ or = 0.0).
  • Paired: Automatically entered null hypothesis (θD ≤ or ≥ or = 0.0).

Alternative hypothesis (Ha):

  • Two-tailed
    • For one-sample (Ha: θ ≠ θ0 and Ho: θ = θ0)
    • For Independent samples (Ha: θ1- θ2 ≠0 and Ho: θ1- θ2 =0)
    • For paired (Ha: θD ≠ 0 and Ho: θD = 0)
  • Lower-tailed
    • For one-sample (Ha: θ < θ0 and Ho: θ ≥ θ0)
    • For Independent samples (Ha: θ1- θ2 <0 and Ho: θ1- θ2 ≥0)
