Title: t test for matched samples
1 t test for matched samples Matched
Samples Samples that have subjects chosen
based on shared characteristics.
2Typical matching characteristics - Gender -
Socioeconomic status (SES) - Age - IQ
3Matching subjects reduces variability that is
caused by the matching variable.
4D difference between scores of matched
subjects.
5 ( sum of the
differences) ( of
matched pairs, or
of difference scores)
6 standard error of the
differences
Standard deviation of the difference scores
of difference scores or of pairs of scores
7Standard deviation of the differences
8Steps for a t test for matched samples 1) find
differences between matched pairs
