Choose Test Hypothesis in the Analyze menu, choose a test from the popup menu, then drag attributes to it. |
You create an empty hypothesis test either by dragging one off the tool shelf or by choosing Test Hypothesis from the Analyze menu.
Once you make the analysis object, choose the type of test you want from the popup menu in the Analysis itself. Then drag attributes to the top of the analysis to tell Fathom what data to use in the test.
In a test, blue text is editable; use it to control the test (e.g., to change the hypothesized mean; we changed it to 38 in the example below). Some blue text brings up a popup menu, as shown here (we're making this a one-tailed test):
If you do not drag attributes to the test, you can still do most tests based on summary statistics. Just select the test from the popup, then enter the attribute names, sample size, etc., in the test. (Some tests, e.g., ANOVA, require original data, however.)
Once you have an analysis, the Test menu is active. You can use it to change to un-verbosemode (fewer words) or plot a distribution relevant to your test or estimate.
