2.1.24.6.7 ocmath_two_sample_confidence_levels_for_mean_pair

Description

Function to compute confidence levels for the mean of pData1 minus the mean of pData2, assuming equal variance.

Syntax

int ocmath_two_sample_confidence_levels_for_mean_pair( const double * vLevels, int nLevelSize, const tTestMean2SampleResults * tTestRes, const HypotTestOptions * opt, double * vLCLs, double * vUCLs )

Parameters

vLevels

[Input] vector containing confidence levels, e.g. {0.9, 0.95, 0.99}

nLevelSize

[Input] number of levels in vLevels.

tTestRes

[Input] structure containing t-Test results from ocmath_two_sample_t_test_pair

opt

[Input]structure containing t-Test options

vLCLs

[Output] pointers to Lower Confidence Limits for mean

vUCLs

[Output] pointers to Upper Confidence Limits for mean

Return

Returns STATS_NO_ERROR on successful exit and a non-zero STATS error code on failure.
