2 Comparing Two Groups of Data
Are the MEANS or MEDIANS the same or different?

3 Matched Pairs Tests Is there a direct relation between each observation in the first group and its equivalent in the second group?

4 Pairing in Environmental Studies Typically by Time or Location

5 Sign Test Null Hypothesis: Prob [x>y] = 1/2
Alt. Hypothesis: Prob [x>y] ≠ 1/ (two-sided) Alt. Hypothesis: Prob [x>y] > 1/2 Prob [x>y] < 1/2 (one-sided)

6 Computing Sign Test Compute differences, di = xi – yi
Record sign of di, + or – Test Statistic: S = # of positive differences Compute p value of S from table or software

7 If the null hypothesis is true, how many S’s would you expect?
Computing Sign Test S = 5 If the null hypothesis is true, how many S’s would you expect? S = 3

8 Signed Rank Test Null Hypothesis: Median Difference = 0
Alt. Hypothesis: Median Difference ≠ (two-sided) Alt. Hypothesis: Median Difference > 0 Median Difference < (one-sided)

9 Computing Signed Rank Test
Compute differences, di = xi – yi Rank differences in order of absolute value Signed Rank – put algebraic sign on rank based on difference Test Statistic W = sum of positive signed ranks Compute p value of W from table or software

10 S = (1+2+3+4+5+6)/2 = 10.5 Computing Signed Rank Test
W = = 16 If the null hypothesis is true, how value for W would you expect? S = ( )/2 = 10.5

11 Frequency Distribution Signed Rank Statistic, W

12 Paired t Test Null Hypothesis: Mean Difference = 0
Alt. Hypothesis: Mean Difference ≠ (two-sided) Alt. Hypothesis: Mean Difference > 0 Mean Difference < (one-sided) Assumption Both groups follow a normal distribution

13 Computing Paired t Test
Compute differences: di = xi – yi Compute mean difference: Dm Test Statistic Compute p value from t table or software

14 Dm = 0 Computing Paired t Test Dm = 8.3
If the null hypothesis is true, what value of Dm would you expect? Dm = 0

15 Two Sample t Test Null Hypothesis: Mean X = Mean Y
Alt. Hypothesis: Mean Difference ≠ (two-sided) Alt. Hypothesis: Mean Difference > Mean Difference < (one-sided) Assumptions Both groups follow a normal distribution Both groups have the same variance

16 Computing Two Sample t Test
Test Statistic If null hypothesis is true, t will be close to zero If null hypothesis is false, | t | will be large
