meanZTest

Introduced in: v22.2

Applies mean z-test to samples from two populations.

Values of both samples are in the sample_data column. If sample_index equals to 0 then the value in that row belongs to the sample from the first population. Otherwise it belongs to the sample from the second population. The null hypothesis is that means of populations are equal. A normal distribution is assumed. Populations may have unequal variance and the variances are known.

Syntax

meanZTest(population_variance_x, population_variance_y, confidence_level)(sample_data, sample_index)

Parameters

population_variance_x — Variance for population x. Float*
population_variance_y — Variance for population y. Float*
confidence_level — Confidence level in order to calculate confidence intervals. Float*

Arguments

sample_data — Sample data. (U)Int* or Float* or Decimal
sample_index — Sample index. (U)Int*

Returned value

Returns a tuple with four elements: calculated z-statistic, calculated p-value, calculated confidence-interval-low, calculated confidence-interval-high. Tuple(Float64, Float64, Float64, Float64)

Examples

Mean Z-test example

CREATE TABLE mean_ztest (sample_data Float64, sample_index UInt8) ENGINE = Memory;
INSERT INTO mean_ztest VALUES (20.3, 0), (21.9, 0), (22.1, 0), (18.9, 1), (19, 1), (20.3, 1);

SELECT meanZTest(0.7, 0.45, 0.95)(sample_data, sample_index) FROM mean_ztest;
