ZTest

Description

td_ztest_sqle() function tests the equality of two means under the assumption that the population variances are known. For large samples, sample variances approximate population variances, so it uses sample variances instead of population variances in the test statistic.

Usage

  td_ztest_sqle (
      data = NULL,
      alpha = 0.5,
      first.sample.column = NULL,
      second.sample.column = NULL,
      alternate.hypothesis = "two-tailed",
      first.sample.variance = NULL,
      second.sample.variance = NULL,
      mean.under.h0 = NULL,
      ...
  )

Arguments

data	Required Argument. Specifies the input tbl_teradata. Types: tbl_teradata
alpha	Optional Argument. Specifies the value of alpha in hypothesis test function. Default Value: 0.5 Types: float
first.sample.column	Required Argument. Specifies the first sample column in z test. Types: character
second.sample.column	Optional Argument. Specifies the second sample column in z test. Types: character
alternate.hypothesis	Optional Argument. Specifies the alternate hypothesis. Permitted Values: lower-tailed - Alternate hypothesis (H 1): μ < μ0. upper-tailed - Alternate hypothesis (H 1): μ > μ0. two-tailed - Rejection region is on two sides of sampling distribution of test statistic. Two-tailed test considers both lower and upper tails of distribution of test statistic. Alternate hypothesis (H 1): μ ≠ μ0 Default Value: "two-tailed" Types: character
first.sample.variance	Required Argument. Specifies the first sample variance. Types: float
second.sample.variance	Optional Argument. Specifies the second sample variance. Types: float
mean.under.h0	Optional Argument. Specifies the mean under the null hypothesis. Types: float
...	Specifies the generic keyword arguments SQLE functions accept. Below are the generic keyword arguments: persist: Optional Argument. Specifies whether to persist the results of the function in a table or not. When set to TRUE, results are persisted in a table; otherwise, results are garbage collected at the end of the session. Default Value: FALSE Types: logical volatile: Optional Argument. Specifies whether to put the results of the function in a volatile table or not. When set to TRUE, results are stored in a volatile table, otherwise not. Default Value: FALSE Types: logical Function allows the user to partition, hash, order or local order the input data. These generic arguments are available for each argument that accepts tbl_teradata as input and can be accessed as: "<input.data.arg.name>.partition.column" accepts character OR vector of Strings (character) (Strings) "<input.data.arg.name>.hash.column" accepts character OR vector of Strings (character) (Strings) "<input.data.arg.name>.order.column" accepts character OR vector of Strings (character) (Strings) "local.order.<input.data.arg.name>" accepts logical Note: These generic arguments are supported by tdplyr if the underlying SQL Engine function supports, else an exception is raised.

Value

Function returns an object of class "td_ztest_sqle" which is a named list containing object of class "tbl_teradata".
Named list member(s) can be referenced directly with the "$" operator using the name(s):result

    con <- td_get_context()$connection
    
    # Load the example data.
    loadExampleData("tdplyr_example", "titanic")
    
    # Create tbl_teradata object.
    titanic_data <- tbl(con, "titanic")

    # Example 1: Perform Ztest analysis on input data column that
    #            contains data for the first sample population and
    #            variance of the first sample population.
    obj <- td_ztest_sqle(data=titanic_data,
                         first.sample.column='age',

    # Print the result.
    print(obj$result)
    
    # Example 2: Perform Ztest analysis on input data column that
    #            contains data for the first and second sample
    #            population and variance of the first and second sample
    #            population by specifying data.partition.column as ANY.
    
    # To partition data using ANY, one must import 'PartitionKind' module first,
    # then pass PartitionKind$ANY as input to "data.partition.column" argument.
    obj <- td_ztest_sqle(data=titanic_data,
                         alpha=0.5,
