INTRODUCTION
Two-Sample Hypothesis Testing: comparing the
underlying parameters of two different populations,
neither of whose values are assumed known
Paired-samples: data points from each sample are
matched uniquely (used in longitudinal studies)
Independent-samples: data points in one sample
are unrelated to the data points in the second
sample (used in cross-sectional studies)
Two hypothesis statements for testing:
H0: 1=2 vs. Ha: 12 (two-sided tail test)
YES
NO
Methods for
comparing more
than two samples,
e.g., ANOVA
Normal Distribution?
Or can CLT be applied?
YES
Inferences
concerning
variances,
e.g., F-test
YES
Independent Samples
NO
Are 12 and 22
significantly
different?
Paired Samples
YES
