Applied Statistical Hypothesis Tests

Test and confidence intervals for some applied statistical hypothesis tests. package

Details

A collection of statistical hypothesis tests, with a focus on non-asymptotic tests. Some tests are medianTest for exact tests and confidence intervals about a median, quantileTest which generalizes medianTest for other quantiles besides the median, signTest to run the exact sign test, bfTest to run the Behrens-Fisher test, abcnonHtest to calculate ABC intervals and tests, wmwTest to run the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test (i.e., Wilcoxon rank sum test, or Mann-Whitney U test) and calculate confidence intervals on the Mann-Whitney parameter. In rare cases, the function only gives a confidence interval and and estimate and does not test a specific hypothesis (see prevSeSp which estimates prevalence accounting for sensitivity and specificity).
