Here is a link to a plot that illustrates the question: bio.lmu.de/~pavlidis/pg1.pdf the question is how to evaluate whether the blue points fit the curve well enough. The curve has been produced from the black points best pavlos On Sun, Oct 27, 2013 at 1:30 PM, Pavlos Pavlidis wrote: >

[R] t-test behavior given that the null hypothesis is true

2013-01-09 Thread Pavlos Pavlidis
Dear all, I observer a strange behavior of the pvalues of the t-test under the null hypothesis. Specifically, I obtain 2 samples of 3 individuals each from a normal distribution of mean 0 and variance 1. Then, I calculate the pvalue using the t-test (var.equal=TRUE, samples are independent). When I
