statistical significance
Added by Grace Redmond over 12 years ago
Hi,
I'm trying to calculate the statistical significance of a change in temperature.
I'm using the student's t-test and CDO commands to calculate the t statistic and the degrees of freedom.
However, I haven't found any CDO operator which would allow me to use these to calculate the statistical significance of change (i.e. the probability that the change between sample1 and sample 2 is due to a change in signal and not random variability.)
Is there a function to do this? Or are there any operators I could combine to calculate this?
Thanks
Grace

Hi,
Are you using the "studentt" operator? (It is an experimental, undocumented operator for student t-test I guess)
Cheers,

I haven't tried using that (as I didn't know it existed)
Would you know where I could find the required input field/s?
A quick 'cdo studentt' suggests it wants one input and one output field.
Thanks very much

Hi all,
I would also like to test the significance of a trend. Can the studentt function be used for this? If so, can someone please provides some guidance on input and output parameters?
Regards
David

The undocumented CDO operator studentt simple computes the student-t distribution of a horizontal field. The input parameter is the degree of freedom.
