Test for the difference in empirical distributions

Source: R/tests.R

The function calculates the complete combinatorial of the supplied vectors using a loop implementation by taking the difference between every combination of the elements in the vectors. The input vectors must be numeric, but can be of different lengths.

poe_test(x, y)

Arguments

x

An input vector

y

An input vector

Value

A numeric test value

Examples

x <- qnorm(runif(100), mean = -0.5, sd = 1)
y <- qnorm(runif(100), mean = 1.5, sd = 2)
