For the test statistic value: STATS_T_TEST_INDEP(expr1, expr2, 'STATISTIC') : STATS_T_TEST_INDEP « Linear Regression Functions « Oracle PL/SQL Tutorial






This function is used when one compares the means of two independent populations with the same population variance.

This t-test returns one number. The following options are available in the STATS_T_TEST_INDEP function.
