statsmodels.stats.weightstats.DescrStatsW.tconfint_mean

DescrStatsW.tconfint_mean(alpha=0.05, alternative='two-sided')

two-sided confidence interval for weighted mean of data

If the data is 2d, then these are separate confidence intervals for each column.

Parameters:

alphafloat

significance level for the confidence interval, coverage is 1-alpha

alternativestr

This specifies the alternative hypothesis for the test that corresponds to the confidence interval. The alternative hypothesis, H1, has to be one of the following

‘two-sided’: H1: mean not equal to value (default) ‘larger’ : H1: mean larger than value ‘smaller’ : H1: mean smaller than value

Returns:

lower, upperfloats or ndarrays

lower and upper bound of confidence interval

Notes

In a previous version, statsmodels 0.4, alpha was the confidence level, e.g. 0.95
