Non-parametric Two-sample test

Non-parametric two-sample test

The two-sample test can be additionally performed by providing the two sample to be compared as x and y. We generate the sample \(y = (y_1, \ldots,y_n)\) from a skew-normal distribution \(SN_d(0,I_d, \lambda)\), where \(d=4\), \(n=200\) and \(\lambda= (0.5,\ldots,0.5)\).

n <- 200
d <- 4
skewness_y <- 0.5
set.seed(2468)
x_2 <- rmvnorm(n, mean = rep(0,d))
y_2 <- rmsn(n=n, xi=0, Omega = diag(d), alpha=rep(skewness_y,d))

h <- 2
set.seed(2468)
two_test <- kb.test(x=x_2, y=y_2, h=h)

For the two-sample case, the summary function provides the results from the test and the descriptive statistics per variable and per group, as similarly described for the \(k\)-sample test. Additionally, it generates the qq-plots comparing the quantiles of the two groups for each variable.

summary_two <- summary(two_test)

The figure automatically generated by the summary function on the result of the two-sample test displays the qq-plots between the two samples with a table of the standard descriptive statistics for each variable, computed per group and overall.

# two_test_h <- kb.test(x=x_2, y=y_2)

set.seed(2468)
h_test2 <- select_h(x=x_2, y=y_2, alternative="skewness")
