this program prompts for means, standard dev, and sample sizes of both groups, and calculates the p-value of unpaired t-test of two independent group.
<?
//-------------pdf_helper.inc --------------//
/*
This code is to compute a p-value from means of two groups.(not the paired data) The paired t-test should be done with different df calculation
p-value is area under the curve from t* to infinity.
I used pdf of t distribution:
y=gamma[(v+1)/2)]/*[(1+(t^2/df)]^((-v-1)/2)
where gamma(alpha)=integral of [x^(alpha-1)*exp(-x)] from 0 to infinity
There can be more than one form for distribution functions. They are actually the same distribution function but in different ways to express it.
