Abstract

We present an R package, IncomPair for testing the hypothesis of equality of the means for the incomplete pairs setting. The package implements a variety of nonparametric and parametric methods that are commonly used when the data set is a mixture paired observations and independent samples. The package also calculates and returns values of different tests with their corresponding p-values. In this paper, we give an overview of the methodologies that have developed to analyze the incomplete pairs.
