| | | English translation:test for (equality of) means of one or more treatments | Explanation:
He/she is talking about t (Student) and F (analysis of variance) tests for equality of means, but expresses himself poorly. To test the mean of one treatment, it is compared to the mean of a control group. The Spanish should have read something like "test para igualdad de media para dos o más grupos", and the English "test for equality of means of...". You should include the "equality of", even though the author did not.

It is true that I made assumptions and changed the source text. I taught statistics to biology students and others for 25 years; from the Spanish text it was clear to me what he is doing, so I feel my assumptions are fully justified. When I translate and make modifications, I mark the words and comment on them, asking for the author's approval. |
