ttest: Student's t-test
synopsis
ttest(ttestp: in, list: out, output: out)
files
ttestp: parameters to control the program:
A set of 6 lines defines the two distributions:
N (integer) for first distribution
mean (real) for first distribution
standard deviation (real) for first distribution
N (integer) for second distribution
mean (real) for second distribution
standard deviation (real) for second distribution
The 7th line is the factor to divide the sample by. If we have an
Rsequence calculated from a dimeric sequence, then the two halves are NOT
independent. The correct calculation takes this into account by using
the same N for the one-way sites and by dividing the mean by 2. Squaring
the standard deviation gives the variance. This variance is divided by 2
and then square rooted to get the variance of the half sites. If this
"sample division factor" is 1, then the calculations proceed without
them. If the factor is 2, then the changes described above are made.

description
This simple program performs the T test computations.
examples
7 OxyR binding site sequences were analzyed for information content
and the standard deviation calculated by the rsim.p program.
This gave 15.4 +/- 1.9 bits for n = 14 sequences.
A randomization experiment was performed and 16 sequences which bind
OxyR were recovered. These were analyzed as above.
This gave 17.5 +/- 1.2 bits for n = 32 sequences.
Since both the sequences and their complements were used for the
calculation, only half site information should be used.
The ttest p file is:
14 n1: number of samples, sample 1
15.4 m1: mean, sample 1
1.9 s1: standard deviation, sample 1
32 n2: number of samples, sample 2
17.5 m2: mean, sample 2
1.2 s2: standard deviation, sample 2
2 sample division factor.
The resulting list file is:

ttest 1.04
sample division by a factor of 2
distribution 1 | distribution 2
number 14 | 32
mean 7.70000 | 8.75000
standard dev. 1.34350 | 0.84853
sigma-D = 0.38914
degrees of freedom = 44
t = -2.69827
This is significant (p < 0.02). So the randomization did not give a similar
information content to the wild type.
