如果您将原始数据作为数组a 和b,您可以使用scipy.stats.ttest_ind 和参数equal_var=False:
t, p = ttest_ind(a, b, equal_var=False)
如果你只有两个数据集的汇总统计,你可以使用scipy.stats.ttest_ind_from_stats(0.16版本添加到scipy)或公式(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welch%27s_t_test)计算t值。
以下脚本显示了可能性。
from __future__ import print_function
import numpy as np
from scipy.stats import ttest_ind, ttest_ind_from_stats
from scipy.special import stdtr
np.random.seed(1)
# Create sample data.
a = np.random.randn(40)
b = 4*np.random.randn(50)
# Use scipy.stats.ttest_ind.
t, p = ttest_ind(a, b, equal_var=False)
print("ttest_ind: t = %g p = %g" % (t, p))
# Compute the descriptive statistics of a and b.
abar = a.mean()
avar = a.var(ddof=1)
na = a.size
adof = na - 1
bbar = b.mean()
bvar = b.var(ddof=1)
nb = b.size
bdof = nb - 1
# Use scipy.stats.ttest_ind_from_stats.
t2, p2 = ttest_ind_from_stats(abar, np.sqrt(avar), na,
bbar, np.sqrt(bvar), nb,
equal_var=False)
print("ttest_ind_from_stats: t = %g p = %g" % (t2, p2))
# Use the formulas directly.
tf = (abar - bbar) / np.sqrt(avar/na + bvar/nb)
dof = (avar/na + bvar/nb)**2 / (avar**2/(na**2*adof) + bvar**2/(nb**2*bdof))
pf = 2*stdtr(dof, -np.abs(tf))
print("formula: t = %g p = %g" % (tf, pf))
输出:
ttest_ind: t = -1.5827 p = 0.118873
ttest_ind_from_stats: t = -1.5827 p = 0.118873
formula: t = -1.5827 p = 0.118873
