tnl_Test

Installation

You can install the released version of tnl.Test from CRAN with:

install.packages("tnl.Test")

Alternatively, you can install the development version on GitHub using the devtools package:

install.packages("devtools") # if you have not installed "devtools" package
devtools::install_github("ihababusaif/tnl.Test")

Details

A non-parametric two-sample test is performed for testing null hypothesis \({H_0:F=G}\) against the alternative hypothesis \({H_1:F\not=G}\). The assumptions of the \({T_n^{(\ell)}}\) test are that both samples should come from a continuous distribution and the samples should have the same sample size.
Missing values are silently omitted from x and y.
Exact and simulated p-values are available for the \({T_n^{(\ell)}}\) test. If exact =“NULL” (the default) the p-value is computed based on exact distribution when the sample size is less than 11. Otherwise, p-value is computed based on a Monte Carlo simulation. If exact =“TRUE”, an exact p-value is computed. If exact=“FALSE”, a Monte Carlo simulation is performed to compute the p-value. It is recommended to calculate the p-value by a Monte Carlo simulation (use exact=“FALSE”), as it takes too long to calculate the exact p-value when the sample size is greater than 10.
The probability mass function (pmf), cumulative density function (cdf) and quantile function of \({T_n^{(\ell)}}\) are also available in this package, and the above-mentioned conditions about exact =“NULL”, exact =“TRUE” and exact=“FALSE” is also valid for these functions.
Exact distribution of \({T_n^{(\ell)}}\) test is also computed under Lehman alternative.
Random number generator of \({T_n^{(\ell)}}\) test statistic are provided under null hypothesis in the library.
