The Behrens-Fisher Problem: A Z Distribution Approach
Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Mathematics and Computer Science - Year 2017, Vol 21, Issue 1
Abstract
We propose the Z distribution to tackle the Behrens-Fisher problem. First, we define the Z distribution which is a generalization of the t distribution, and then find the pdf and cdf of the Z distribution. After that, we apply the Z distribution in the hypothesis testing of two normal means, where three different assumptions of the variances are considered. The Z distribution is very flexible in the applications in which one statistics that obeys the Z distribution is applicable to all the three assumptions of the variances. Finally, we provide two groups of simulation studies for the hypothesis testing problems of two normal means.
