Follow-up Comment #4, bug #26936 (project pspp):
Okay - thanks for clarifying the problem.
When I run the example you gave, I get a T value of -Infinity for the Equal
Variances case, and NaN for the Unequal Variances case. Consequently all
other figures are NaN (except the Mean Difference).
I'm rather intrigued that you get a finite T-Value at all. What platform are
you running on?
The results I'm seeing are probably not strictly correct, but are
understandable since, as one of the groups has only 1 member, the variance is
zero - and division by zero is undefined.
But I'm concerned when you say that "other paired-samples tests" are giving
the wrong answer too. Do any of these other examples
have group sizes larger than 1 ? If so, can you post example syntax files
which demonstrate the problem.
