The Two-Sample t-test and the Influence of Outliers : - A simulation study on how the type I error rate is impacted by outliers of different magnitude.Widerberg, Carl January 2019 (has links)
This study investigates how outliers of different magnitude impact the robustness of the twosample t-test. A simulation study approach is used to analyze the behavior of type I error rates when outliers are added to generated data. Outliers may distort parameter estimates such as the mean and variance and cause misleading test results. Previous research has shown that Welch’s ttest performs better than the traditional Student’s t-test when group variances are unequal. Therefore these two alternative statistics are compared in terms of type I error rates when outliers are added to the samples. The results show that control of type I error rates can be maintained in the presence of a single outlier. Depending on the magnitude of the outlier and the sample size, there are scenarios where the t-test is robust. However, the sensitivity of the t-test is illustrated by deteriorating type I error rates when more than one outlier are included. The comparison between Welch’s t-test and Student’s t-test shows that the former is marginally more robust against outlier influence.

Výdaje na zdravotnictví-trendy a současnost / Health care expenditures- future prospects and current situationŠkrobák, Martin January 2015 (has links)
Diploma thesis "Health care expenditures- future prospects and current situation" is focused on three areas linked to health care expenditures in EU and USA. First area, health expenditures financing, is analyzed in first chapter of the thesis. In the chapter, the development of modern health systems from its beginnings to 2014 is described. Second chapter is based on statistical hypothesis testing- paired two-sample t-tests. Firstly, share of health expenditures on GDP in 2000 and 2014 is tested. Secondly, share of public financing on health expenditures in 2000 and 2014 in tested. Third chapter explores influence of demography factors on health care expenditures and tests structure of health care expenditures in 2004 and 2013.
