mcStats

================ This package is used to visualize distributions in relation to traditional hypothesis tests. We have found that students are capable of interpreting p-values, but often struggle with understanding how they relate to the underlying distribution. The stats package performs statistical tests while we visualize the results.

Hypothesis Tests

Proportion Test

showProp.Test(3, 10)

## 
##  Exact binomial test
## 
## data:  x and n
## number of successes = 3, number of trials = 10, p-value = 0.3438
## alternative hypothesis: true probability of success is not equal to 0.5
## 95 percent confidence interval:
##  0.06673951 0.65245285
## sample estimates:
## probability of success 
##                    0.3

T-Test

One Sample

Test with null hypothesis mean = 0.

x <- rnorm(10)
showT.Test(x)

## 
##  One Sample t-test
## 
## data:  group1
## t = -0.97931, df = 9, p-value = 0.353
## alternative hypothesis: true mean is not equal to 0
## 95 percent confidence interval:
##  -0.9367283  0.3707214
## sample estimates:
##  mean of x 
## -0.2830035

Test with null hypothesis mean = 0.5.

showT.Test(x, mu = 0.5)

## 
##  One Sample t-test
## 
## data:  group1
## t = -2.7095, df = 9, p-value = 0.02402
## alternative hypothesis: true mean is not equal to 0.5
## 95 percent confidence interval:
##  -0.9367283  0.3707214
## sample estimates:
##  mean of x 
## -0.2830035

Two Sample

y <- rnorm(10, mean = 0.1)
showT.Test(x,y)

Chi-Square Test

Mosaic Plot

x <- matrix(runif(9,5,100), ncol = 3, dimnames = list(c("Yes1", "No1", "Maybe 1"),
                                                      c("Yes2", "No2", "Maybe 2")))
mosaicplot(x)

Distribution

showChiSq.Test(x)

## 
##  Pearson's Chi-squared test
## 
## data:  x
## X-squared = 20.445, df = 4, p-value = 0.0004078

McNemar Test

Performance <-
  matrix(c(794, 86, 150, 570),
         nrow = 2,
         dimnames = list("1st Survey" = c("Approve", "Disapprove"),
                         "2nd Survey" = c("Approve", "Disapprove")))
showMcNemarTest(Performance)

## 
##  McNemar's Chi-squared test with continuity correction
## 
## data:  x
## McNemar's chi-squared = 16.818, df = 1, p-value = 4.115e-05
