KnownVariance

is an option to statistical confidence interval and hypothesis test functions that specifies the value of the population variance.

Details and Options

  • To use KnownVariance, you first need to load the Hypothesis Testing Package using Needs["HypothesisTesting`"].
  • The value of KnownVariance can be a positive number or None.
  • For KnownVariance->None, the population variance is estimated from the input data.
  • For confidence intervals and tests based on two samples, variances var1 and var2 for the two populations can be given as KnownVariance->{var1,var2}.
