The alternative hypothesis is that the mean is not m. The logical output h 0 indicates a failure to reject the null hypothesis at the default significance level of 5%. Welchs ttest is a viable alternative to the classical ttest because it does not assume equal variances and therefore is insensitive to unequal variances for all sample sizes. This is a consequence of the high probability under the null hypothesis, indicated by the p value, of observing a value as extreme or more extreme of the zstatistic computed from the sample. The wilcoxon signed rank test is a nonparametric test for two populations when the observations are paired. This tutorial gives you aggressively a gentle introduction of matlab programming language.
