################# # QERM 598 # # HW 3 # # due 1.29.2007 # ################# # 1. Modify the t-test power example to compute the power for # some other t-tests with different values of n, sigma^2, # mu.1 and mu.2. Throughout, assume alpha = .05 and use # a two sided test. # # Specifically, consider all combinations of n = 3,5,10,20 # mu.1-mu.2 = 1,3,5, (i.e. pick two means that are 1, 3 and 5 apart; # the actual values of mu.1 and mu.2 shouldn't matter.) # and sigma^2 = 1,2,5. # # 2. Read the nonparametric_tests.pdf notes on the webpage. # Use R to conduct the Adelie/Chinstrap penguin example found in the notes. # # 3. Apply the Wilcoxon Signed Rank test to the boys shoe # data example given in lab. Does your inference agree with the # paired-sample t-test? # Use the following ?wilcox.test # now look at the paired=T option. # # 4. Use R to illustrate a current or past HW problem from Stat 512-513. # Be prepared to discuss this problem for 5 minutes at the next meeting.
