This function performs one-sample, two-sample, and paired-sample z-tests and provides descriptive statistics, effect size measure, and a plot showing error bars for confidence intervals with jittered data points.

Returns an object of class misty.object, which is a list with following entries:
function call (call), type of analysis type, list with the input specified in x
(data), specification of function arguments (args), and result table (result).
a numeric vector of data values.
a numeric vector of data values.
a numeric vector indicating the population standard deviation(s). In case of two-sample z-test, equal standard deviations are assumed when specifying one value for the argument sigma; when specifying two values for the argument sigma, unequal standard deviations are assumed. Note that either argument sigma or argument sigma2 is specified.
a numeric vector indicating the population variance(s). In case of two-sample z-test, equal variances are assumed when specifying one value for the argument sigma2; when specifying two values for the argument sigma, unequal variance are assumed. Note that either argument sigma or argument sigma2 is specified.
a numeric value indicating the population mean under the null hypothesis. Note that the argument mu is only used when computing a one-sample z-test.
logical: if TRUE, paired-sample z-test is computed.
a character string specifying the alternative hypothesis, must be one of "two.sided" (default), "greater" or "less".
logical: if TRUE, null and alternative hypothesis are shown on the console.
logical: if TRUE, descriptive statistics are shown on the console.
logical: if TRUE, effect size measure Cohen's d is shown on the console.
a numeric value between 0 and 1 indicating the confidence level of the interval.
logical: if TRUE, a plot showing error bars for confidence intervals is drawn.
a numeric value indicating the size aesthetic for the point representing the mean value.
a numeric value indicating the horizontal bar width of the error bar.
a character string specifying the labels for the x-axis.
a character string specifying the labels for the y-axis.
a numeric vector of length two specifying limits of the limits of the y-axis.
a numeric vector specifying the points at which tick-marks are drawn at the y-axis.
logical: if TRUE (default), a horizontal line is drawn at mu for the one-sample t-test or at 0 for the paired-sample t-test.
an integer value or character string specifying the line type for the line representing the population mean under the null hypothesis, i.e., 0 = blank, 1 = solid, 2 = dashed, 3 = dotted, 4 = dotdash, 5 = longdash, 6 = twodash.
a numeric value indicating the size aesthetic for the line representing the population mean under the null hypothesis.
logical: if TRUE (default), jittered data points are drawn.
a numeric value indicating the size aesthetic for the jittered data points.
a numeric value indicating the amount of vertical and horizontal jitter.
a numeric value indicating the opacity of the jittered data points.
a character string specifying the text for the title for the plot.
a character string specifying the text for the subtitle for the plot.
an integer value indicating the number of decimal places to be used for displaying descriptive statistics and confidence interval.
an integer value indicating the number of decimal places to be used for displaying the p-value.
a numeric vector indicating user-defined missing values, i.e. these values are converted to NA before conducting the analysis.
logical: if TRUE, argument specification is checked.
logical: if TRUE, output is shown on the console.
in case of two sample z-test (i.e., paired = FALSE), a formula of the form y ~ group where group is a numeric variable, character variable or factor with two values or factor levels giving the corresponding groups.
a matrix or data frame containing the variables in the formula formula.
further arguments to be passed to or from methods.

Cohen's d reported when argument effsize = TRUE is based on the population standard deviation
specified in sigma or the square root of the population variance specified in sigma2.
In a one-sample and paired-sample design, Cohen's d is the mean of the difference scores divided
by the population standard deviation of the difference scores (i.e., equivalent to Cohen's \(d_z\)
according to Lakens, 2013). In a two-sample design, Cohen's d is the difference between means of the
two groups of observations divided by either the population standard deviation when assuming and
specifying equal standard deviations or the unweighted pooled population standard deviation
when assuming and specifying unequal standard deviations.
