var_test1: Two sided or one sided test of hypothesis of sigma^2 of one normal sample

Description

Compute the two sided or one sided test of hypothesis of sigma^2 of one normal sample when the population mean is known or unknown.

Usage

var_test1(x, sigma2 = 1, mu = Inf, side = 0)

Value

A data.frame with variables:

var

The estimate of the population variance. When the population mean mu is known, var = mean((x-mu)^2). When mu is unknown, var = var(x).

df

The degree of freedom.

chisq2

The chisquare statistic.

p_value

The P value.

Arguments

x

A numeric vector.

sigma2

sigma2 is sigma0^2 in the null hypothesis. Default is 1, i.e., H0: sigma^2 = 1.

mu

The population mean. mu < Inf indicates it is known, mu == Inf indicates it is unknown. Default to unknown population mean.

side

A parameter used to control two sided or one sided test of hypothesis. When inputting side = 0 (default), the function computes two sided test of hypothesis, and H1: sigma^2 != sigma0^2; when inputting side = -1 (or a number < 0), the function computes one sided test of hypothesis, and H1: sigma^2 < sigma0^2; when inputting side = 1 (or a number > 0), the function computes one sided test of hypothesis, and H1: sigma^2 > sigma0^2.
