The Difference Between Two Groups in Simple Random Samples Where the Population Standard Deviation Must Be Estimated
In this chapter, we revisit the test about differences between group means, but now we acknowledge that the population standard deviation is unknown and must be estimated. This changes the distribution that we must use for the test and to determine power. We now must use the distribution instead of the standard normal distribution (Student, 1908). Since the distribution depends on the sample size, power analysis is less straightforward. In this chapter, we focus on the least squares regression method for testing for group mean differences. Doing this lays the ...
