Arguments

x

a numeric vector providing the first dataset

y

optional second dataset

mean

the mean to compare with

sd

the known standard deviation

alternative

the alternative to be used in the test

Value

• A classical "htest" object
• data.name
  The name of the dataset as specified
• method
  a name for the test used
• parameter
  the mean and variance provided to the test
• alternative
