1. Introduction

This vignette is intended to contain the same validation that is included in the test suite within the cmstatr package, but in a format that is easier for a human to read. The intent is that this vignette will include only those validations that are included in the test suite, but that the test suite may include more tests than are shown in this vignette.

The following packages will be used in this validation. The version of each package used is listed at the end of this vignette.

Throughout this vignette, the testthat package will be used. Expressions such as expect_equal are used to ensure that the two values are equal (within some tolerance). If this expectation is not true, the vignette will fail to build. The tolerance is a relative tolerance: a tolerance of 0.01 means that the two values must be within 1%1\% of each other. As an example, the following expression checks that the value 10 is equal to 10.1 within a tolerance of 0.01. Such an expectation should be satisfied.

expect_equal(10, 10.1, tolerance = 0.01)

The basis_... functions automatically perform certain diagnostic tests. When those diagnostic tests are not relevant to the validation, the diagnostic tests are overridden by passing the argument override = "all".

3. carbon.fabric Data Set

This data set is example data that is provided with cmstatr. The first few rows of this data are shown below.

head(carbon.fabric)
#>           id test condition batch strength
#> 1 WT-RTD-1-1   WT       RTD     1 137.4438
#> 2 WT-RTD-1-2   WT       RTD     1 139.5395
#> 3 WT-RTD-1-3   WT       RTD     1 150.8900
#> 4 WT-RTD-1-4   WT       RTD     1 141.4474
#> 5 WT-RTD-1-5   WT       RTD     1 141.8203
#> 6 WT-RTD-1-6   WT       RTD     1 151.8821

3.1. Anderson–Darling k-Sample Test

This data was entered into ASAP 2008 [1] and the reported Anderson–Darling k–Sample test statistics were recorded, as were the conclusions.

The value of the test statistic reported by cmstatr and that reported by ASAP 2008 differ by a factor of k1k - 1, as do the critical values used. As such, the conclusion of the tests are identical. This is described in more detail in the Anderson–Darling k–Sample Vignette.

When the RTD warp-tension data from this data set is entered into ASAP 2008, it reports a test statistic of 0.456 and fails to reject the null hypothesis that the batches are drawn from the same distribution. Adjusting for the different definition of the test statistic, the results given by cmstatr are very similar.

res <- carbon.fabric %>%
  filter(test == "WT") %>%
  filter(condition == "RTD") %>%
  ad_ksample(strength, batch)

expect_equal(res$ad / (res$k - 1), 0.456, tolerance = 0.002)
expect_false(res$reject_same_dist)

res
#> 
#> Call:
#> ad_ksample(data = ., x = strength, groups = batch)
#> 
#> N = 18           k = 3            
#> ADK = 0.912      p-value = 0.95989 
#> Conclusion: Samples come from the same distribution ( alpha = 0.025 )

When the ETW warp-tension data from this data set are entered into ASAP 2008, the reported test statistic is 1.604 and it fails to reject the null hypothesis that the batches are drawn from the same distribution. Adjusting for the different definition of the test statistic, cmstatr gives nearly identical results.

res <- carbon.fabric %>%
  filter(test == "WT") %>%
  filter(condition == "ETW") %>%
  ad_ksample(strength, batch)

expect_equal(res$ad / (res$k - 1), 1.604, tolerance = 0.002)
expect_false(res$reject_same_dist)

res
#> 
#> Call:
#> ad_ksample(data = ., x = strength, groups = batch)
#> 
#> N = 18           k = 3            
#> ADK = 3.21       p-value = 0.10208 
#> Conclusion: Samples come from the same distribution ( alpha = 0.025 )

4.1.1 Maximum Normed Residual Test

CMH-17-1G Table 8.3.11.1.1(a) provides results of the MNR test from ASAP for this data set. Batches 2 and 3 of the ETW data is considered here and the results of cmstatr are compared with those published in CMH-17-1G.

For Batch 2 of the ETW data, the results match those published in the handbook within a small tolerance. The published test statistic is 2.008.

res <- dat_8_3_11_1_1 %>%
  filter(condition == "ETW" & batch == 2) %>%
  maximum_normed_residual(strength, alpha = 0.05)

expect_equal(res$mnr, 2.008, tolerance = 0.001)
expect_equal(res$crit, 2.127, tolerance = 0.001)
expect_equal(res$n_outliers, 0)

#> 
#> MNR = 2.008274  ( critical value = 2.126645 )
#> 
#> No outliers detected ( alpha = 0.05 )

Similarly, for Batch 3 of the ETW data, the results of cmstatr match the results published in the handbook within a small tolerance. The published test statistic is 2.119

res <- dat_8_3_11_1_1 %>%
  filter(condition == "ETW" & batch == 3) %>%
  maximum_normed_residual(strength, alpha = 0.05)

expect_equal(res$mnr, 2.119, tolerance = 0.001)

#>        4    80.23348

4.1.2 Anderson–Darling k–Sample Test

For the ETW condition, the ADK test statistic given in [2] is ADK=0.793ADK = 0.793 and the test concludes that the samples come from the same distribution. Noting that cmstatr uses the definition of the test statistic given in [4], so the test statistic given by cmstatr differs from that given by ASAP by a factor of k1k - 1, as described in the Anderson–Darling k–Sample Vignette.

res <- dat_8_3_11_1_1 %>%
  filter(condition == "ETW") %>%
  ad_ksample(strength, batch)

expect_equal(res$ad / (res$k - 1), 0.793, tolerance = 0.003)
expect_false(res$reject_same_dist)

res
#> 
#> Call:
#> ad_ksample(data = ., x = strength, groups = batch)
#> 
#> N = 22           k = 3            
#> ADK = 1.59       p-value = 0.59491 
#> Conclusion: Samples come from the same distribution ( alpha = 0.025 )

Similarly, for the ETW2 condition, the test statistic given in [2] is ADK=3.024ADK = 3.024 and the test concludes that the samples come from different distributions. This matches cmstatr

res <- dat_8_3_11_1_1 %>%
  filter(condition == "ETW2") %>%
  ad_ksample(strength, batch)

expect_equal(res$ad / (res$k - 1), 3.024, tolerance = 0.001)
expect_true(res$reject_same_dist)

res
#> 
#> Call:
#> ad_ksample(data = ., x = strength, groups = batch)
#> 
#> N = 20           k = 3            
#> ADK = 6.05       p-value = 0.0042703 
#> Conclusion: Samples do not come from the same distribution (alpha = 0.025 )

4.1.3 Anderson–Darling Tests for Distribution

CMH-17-1G Section 8.3.11.2.1 contains results from STAT17 for the “observed significance level” from the Anderson–Darling test for various distributions. In this section, the ETW condition from the present data set is used. The published results are given in the following table. The results from cmstatr are below and are very similar to those from STAT17.

Distribution OSL
Normal 0.006051
Lognormal 0.000307
Weibull 0.219
res <- dat_8_3_11_1_1 %>%
  filter(condition == "ETW") %>%
  anderson_darling_normal(strength)
expect_equal(res$osl, 0.006051, tolerance = 0.001)
res

#> OSL (p-value):  0.006051441  (assuming unknown parameters)
#> Conclusion: Sample is not drawn from a Normal distribution ( alpha = 0.05 )
res <- dat_8_3_11_1_1 %>%
  filter(condition == "ETW") %>%
  anderson_darling_lognormal(strength)
expect_equal(res$osl, 0.000307, tolerance = 0.001)
res
#>

#> OSL (p-value):  0.02186889  (assuming unknown parameters)
#> Conclusion: Sample is not drawn from a Weibull distribution ( alpha = 0.05 )

4.1.4 Levene’s Test (Between Conditions)

CMH-17-1G Section 8.3.11.1.1 provides results from ASAP for Levene’s test for equality of variance between conditions after the ETW and ETW2 conditions are removed. The handbook shows an F statistic of 0.58, however if this data is entered into ASAP directly, ASAP gives an F statistic of 0.058, which matches the result of cmstatr.

res <- dat_8_3_11_1_1 %>%
  filter(condition != "ETW" & condition != "ETW2") %>%
  levene_test(strength, condition)
expect_equal(res$f, 0.058, tolerance = 0.01)
res
#> 
#> Call:
#> levene_test(data = ., x = strength, groups = condition)
#> 
#> n = 60           k = 3            
#> F = 0.05811631   p-value = 0.943596 
#> Conclusion: Samples have equal variances ( alpha = 0.05 )

4.1.5 Levene’s Test (Between Batches)

CMH-17-1G Section 8.3.11.2.2 provides output from STAT17. The ETW2 condition from the present data set was analyzed by STAT17 and that software reported an F statistic of 0.123 from Levene’s test when comparing the variance of the batches within this condition. The result from cmstatr is similar.

res <- dat_8_3_11_1_1 %>%
  filter(condition == "ETW2") %>%
  levene_test(strength, batch)
expect_equal(res$f, 0.123, tolerance = 0.005)
res
#> 
#> Call:
#> levene_test(data = ., x = strength, groups = batch)
#> 
#> n = 20           k = 3            
#> F = 0.1233937    p-value = 0.8847 
#> Conclusion: Samples have equal variances ( alpha = 0.05 )

Similarly, the published value of the F statistic for the CTD condition is 3.8503.850. cmstatr produces very similar results.

res <- dat_8_3_11_1_1 %>%
  filter(condition == "CTD") %>%
  levene_test(strength, batch)
expect_equal(res$f, 3.850, tolerance = 0.005)
res
#> 
#> Call:
#> levene_test(data = ., x = strength, groups = batch)
#> 
#> n = 19           k = 3            
#> F = 3.852032     p-value = 0.04309008 
#> Conclusion: Samples have unequal variance ( alpha = 0.05 )

4.1.6 Nonparametric Basis Values

CMH-17-1G Section 8.3.11.2.1 provides STAT17 outputs for the ETW condition of the present data set. The nonparametric Basis values are listed. In this case, the Hanson–Koopmans method is used. The published A-Basis value is 13.0 and the B-Basis is 37.9.

res <- dat_8_3_11_1_1 %>%
  filter(condition == "ETW") %>%
  basis_hk_ext(strength, method = "woodward-frawley", p = 0.99, conf = 0.95,
               override = "all")

expect_equal(res$basis, 13.0, tolerance = 0.001)

4.1.7 Single-Point ANOVA Basis Value

CMH-17-1G Section 8.3.11.2.2 provides output from STAT17 for the ETW2 condition from the present data set. STAT17 reports A- and B-Basis values based on the ANOVA method of 34.6 and 63.2, respectively. The results from cmstatr are similar.

res <- dat_8_3_11_1_1 %>%
  filter(condition == "ETW2") %>%
  basis_anova(strength, batch, override = "number_of_groups",
              p = 0.99, conf = 0.95)

4.2 Dataset From Section 8.3.11.1.2

[2] provides an example data set and results from ASAP [1]. This example data set is duplicated below:

5. Other Data Sets

This section contains various small data sets. In most cases, these data sets were generated randomly for the purpose of comparing cmstatr to other software.

5.1 Anderson–Darling Test (Normal)

The following data set was randomly generated. When this is entered into STAT17 [3], that software gives the value OSL=0.465OSL = 0.465, which matches the result of cmstatr within a small margin.

dat <- data.frame(
  strength = c(
    137.4438, 139.5395, 150.89, 141.4474, 141.8203, 151.8821, 143.9245,

#> Conclusion: Sample is drawn from a Normal distribution ( alpha = 0.05 )

5.2 Anderson–Darling Test (Lognormal)

The following data set was randomly generated. When this is entered into STAT17 [3], that software gives the value OSL=0.480OSL = 0.480, which matches the result of cmstatr within a small margin.

dat <- data.frame(

#> Conclusion: Sample is drawn from a Lognormal distribution ( alpha = 0.05 )

5.3 Anderson–Darling Test (Weibull)

The following data set was randomly generated. When this is entered into STAT17 [3], that software gives the value OSL=0.179OSL = 0.179, which matches the result of cmstatr within a small margin.

dat <- data.frame(

7.3 Nonparametric B-Basis Extended Hanson–Koopmans

Vangel [5] provides extensive tables of zz for the case where i=1i=1 and jj is the median observation. This section checks the results of cmstatr’s function against those tables. Only the odd values of nn are checked so that the median is a single observation. The unit tests for the cmstatr package include checks of a variety of values of pp and confidence, but only the factors for B-Basis are checked here.

7.4 Nonparametric A-Basis Extended Hanson–Koopmans

CMH-17-1G provides Table 8.5.15, which contains factors for calculating A-Basis values using the Extended Hanson–Koopmans nonparametric method. That table is reproduced in part here and the factors are compared with those computed by cmstatr. More extensive checks are performed in the unit test of the cmstatr package. The factors computed by cmstatr are very similar to those published in CMH-17-1G.

7.5 Factors for Small Sample Nonparametric B-Basis

CMH-17-1G Table 8.5.14 provides ranks orders and factors for computing nonparametric B-Basis values. This table is reproduced below and compared with the results of cmstatr. The results are similar. In some cases, the rank order (rr in CMH-17-1G or jj in cmstatr) and the the factor (kk) are different. These differences are discussed in detail in the vignette Extended Hanson-Koopmans.

7.6 Nonparametric B-Basis Binomial Rank

CMH-17-1G Table 8.5.12 provides factors for computing B-Basis values using the nonparametric binomial rank method. Part of that table is reproduced below and compared with the results of cmstatr. The results of cmstatr are similar to the published values. A more complete comparison is performed in the units tests of the cmstatr package.

7.8 Factors for Equivalency

Vangel’s 2002 paper provides factors for calculating limits for sample mean and sample extremum for various values of α\alpha and sample size (nn). A subset of those factors are reproduced below and compared with results from cmstatr. The results are very similar for values of α\alpha and nn that are common for composite materials.
