T test as a parametric statistic [PDF]
In statistic tests, the probability distribution of the statistics is important. When samples are drawn from population N (µ, σ2) with a sample size of n, the distribution of the sample mean X̄ should be a normal distribution N (µ, σ2/n).

A simple guide to the use of Student’s t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, Chi-squared test, and Kruskal-Wallis test in biostatistics [PDF]
In an age when machine learning and artificial intelligence are broadly employed, traditional statistics can still provide insightful information and results quickly and at a low computational cost.

Beyond t test and ANOVA: applications of mixed-effects models for more rigorous statistical analysis in neuroscience research. [PDF]
In basic neuroscience research, data are often clustered or collected with repeated measures, hence correlated. The most widely used methods such as t-test and ANOVA do not take data dependence into account, and thus are often misused.

A tutorial on using the paired t test for power calculations in repeated measures ANOVA with interactions. [PDF]
The a priori calculation of statistical power has become common practice in behavioral and social sciences to calculate the necessary sample size for detecting an expected effect size with a certain probability (i.e., power).

Attach importance of the bootstrap t test against Student's t test in clinical epidemiology: a demonstrative comparison using COVID-19 as an example. [PDF]
Student's t test is valid for statistical inference under the normality assumption or asymptotically. By contrast, although the bootstrap t test was proposed in 1993, it is seldom adopted in medical research.

Application of student's t-test, analysis of variance, and covariance. [PDF]
Student's t test (t test), analysis of variance (ANOVA), and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) are statistical methods used in the testing of hypothesis for comparison of means between the groups.

More about the basic assumptions of t-test: normality and sample size. [PDF]
Most parametric tests start with the basic assumption on the distribution of populations. The conditions required to conduct the t-test include the measured values in ratio scale or interval scale, simple random extraction, normal distribution of data ...

Analysis of Bayesian posterior significance and effect size indices for the two-sample t-test to support reproducible medical research. [PDF]
Background The replication crisis hit the medical sciences about a decade ago, but today still most of the flaws inherent in null hypothesis significance testing (NHST) have not been solved.

Why Psychologists Should by Default Use Welch’s t-test Instead of Student’s t-test
When comparing two independent groups, psychology researchers commonly use Student’s 't'-tests. Assumptions of normality and homogeneity of variance underlie this test.
