# scipy.stats.ttest_1samp

`scipy.stats.``ttest_1samp`(a, popmean, axis=0, nan_policy='propagate')

  Calculates the T-test for the mean of ONE group of scores.

  This is a two-sided test for the null hypothesis that the expected value (mean) of a sample of independent observations a is equal to the given population mean, popmean.

  Parameters:

  a : array_like

  > sample observation

  popmean : float or array_like

  > expected value in null hypothesis, if array_like than it must have the same shape as a excluding the axis dimension

  axis : int or None, optional

  > Axis along which to compute test. If None, compute over the whole array a.

  nan_policy : {‘propagate’, ‘raise’, ‘omit’}, optional

  > Defines how to handle when input contains nan. ‘propagate’ returns nan, ‘raise’ throws an error, ‘omit’ performs the calculations ignoring nan values. Default is ‘propagate’.

  Returns:

  statistic : float or array

  > t-statistic

  pvalue : float or array

  > two-tailed p-value

  Examples

      >>> from scipy import stats

      >>> np.random.seed(7654567)  # fix seed to get the same result
      >>> rvs = stats.norm.rvs(loc=5, scale=10, size=(50,2))

  Test if mean of random sample is equal to true mean, and different mean. We reject the null hypothesis in the second case and don’t reject it in the first case.

      >>> stats.ttest_1samp(rvs,5.0)
      (array([-0.68014479, -0.04323899]), array([ 0.49961383,  0.96568674]))
      >>> stats.ttest_1samp(rvs,0.0)
      (array([ 2.77025808,  4.11038784]), array([ 0.00789095,  0.00014999]))

  Examples using axis and non-scalar dimension for population mean.

      >>> stats.ttest_1samp(rvs,[5.0,0.0])
      (array([-0.68014479,  4.11038784]), array([  4.99613833e-01,   1.49986458e-04]))
      >>> stats.ttest_1samp(rvs.T,[5.0,0.0],axis=1)
      (array([-0.68014479,  4.11038784]), array([  4.99613833e-01,   1.49986458e-04]))
      >>> stats.ttest_1samp(rvs,[[5.0],[0.0]])
      (array([[-0.68014479, -0.04323899],
             [ 2.77025808,  4.11038784]]), array([[  4.99613833e-01,   9.65686743e-01],
             [  7.89094663e-03,   1.49986458e-04]]))
