86 **What it does**
87
88 This program implements the non-pooled t-test for two samples where the alternative hypothesis is two-sided or one-sided. The program takes four inputs:
89
90 - The first input file is a TABULAR format file representing the first sample and consisting of one column only.
91 - The second input file is a TABULAR format file representing the first sample and consisting of one column only.
92 - The third input is the sidedness of the t-test: either two-sided or, one-sided with m1 less than m2 or, one-sided with m1 greater than m2.
93 - The fourth input is the equality status of the standard deviations of both populations.
94 - The output file is a TXT file representing the result of the two-sample t-test.
95

97 **Example**
98
99 Let us have the first input file representing the first sample as follows::
100
101 5
102 4
103 8
104 6
105 7
106 2
107 1
108 1
109 0
110 6
111 4
112 5
113 7
114 5
115 3
116 2
117 5
118 8
119 7
120 6
121 4
122
123 And the second input file representing the second sample as follows::
124
125 2
126 3
127 5
128 1
129 2
130 7
131 5
132 4
133 3
134 2
135 7
136 6
137 0
138 8
139 4
140 6
141 9
142 2
143 4
144 5
145 6
146
147 Runnig the program and choosing "Two-sided" and "Equal" as parameters will give the following output::
148
149 Two Sample t-test
150
151 data: sample1 and sample2
152 t = -0.3247, df = 40, p-value = 0.7471
153 alternative hypothesis: true difference in means is not equal to 0
154 95 percent confidence interval:
155 -1.720030 1.243839
156 sample estimates:
