The second argument should be the data to be used for the formula. In this paper, we propose tests for the equality of two competing risks against an ordered alternative specified by their subsurvival functions.

The trick is in already knowing that statas command for testing equality of means is ttest and. In a simple example, well see if the distribution of writing test scores across gender are equal using the highschool and beyond 2000 data set. After having done some research, it seems that the wilcoxon test is the way to go. The sample size is directly proportional to the power of the study. Power 1b this is the probability that the test will correctly identify a significant difference or effect or association in the sample should one exist in the population.

However it is possible to test whether the correlation coefficient is equal to or different from another fixed value. In the first syntax, varname is the variable whose distribution.
Stata provides a myriad of nonparametric tests and has features for. The null hypothesis is that the samples were drawn. It is a nonparametric test that tests the null hypothesis that the medians of the populations from which two or more samples are drawn are identical. It tests the null hypothesis that the k samples were drawn from populations with the same median. More precisely, i have a binary explicated variable y that should be affected by a treatment x. In the competing risks literature, one usually compares whether two risks are equal or whether one is more serious. A twosample test for equality of means in high dimension.
