How to Conduct a Two-Sample T-Test in Python
Performs Welch's t-test for two independent samples, computing the t-statistic, degrees of freedom, and p-value using NumPy and SciPy.
import numpy as np
def two_sample_t_test(sample1, sample2):
"""Perform Welch's t-test for two independent samples."""
n1, n2 = len(sample1), len(sample2)
mean1, mean2 = np.mean(sample1), np.mean(sample2)
var1, var2 = np.var(sample1, ddof=1), np.var(sample2, ddof=1)
# Standard error of difference
…How to Mock Time for Cache TTL Testing in Python
This code demonstrates how to test a cache's TTL expiration logic by mocking time.time with unittest.mock to control the passage of time.
import time
from unittest.mock import patch
class ConfigCache:
def __init__(self, ttl=60):
self.ttl = ttl
self._store = {}
self._timestamps = {}
def get(self, key):
if key not in self._store:
return None
if time.time() - self._timestamps[key] > self.ttl:
…How to Perform Intent-to-Treat Analysis in Python
Runs an intent-to-treat analysis on mock A/B test data, comparing outcomes by initial group assignment with a t-test for significance.
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
def intent_to_treat_analysis(data):
"""Perform intent-to-treat (ITT) analysis.
ITT compares outcomes based on initial treatment assignment,
regardless of whether participants actually received the treatment.

Calculate the Welch t-statistic and degrees of freedom for two samples with unequal variances using Python's statistics module.
import math
from statistics import mean, variance
def welch_t_test(sample1, sample2):
n1, n2 = len(sample1), len(sample2)
mean1, mean2 = mean(sample1), mean(sample2)
var1, var2 = variance(sample1), variance(sample2)
# Welch's t statistic
t_stat = (mean1 - mean2) / math.sqrt(var1 / n1 + var2 / n2…Browse by section
