Hello,

You can write a function to compute the scores:


z_score <- function(x, beta = mean, beta0 = 0){
  beta <- match.fun(beta)
  n <- length(x)
  score <- sqrt(n)*(beta(x) - beta0)/sd(x)
  names(score) <- if(n < 30) "t.score" else "z.score"
  score
}

# data example
x <- rt(20, df = 1)
tt <- t.test(x)

pvals <- tt$p.value

# Now compare these 3 results and see if it answers the question

qt(pvals/2, 19, lower.tail = F)
tt$statistic
z_score(x)


Hope this helps,

I guess I can have

z-score=Beta/StdErr

thanks, can you please tell em what would be the way not to get the
absolute (always positive values)

Hello,

Sorry but after reading my answer I believe it's not completely clear.

I meant absolute values, the actual t-scores as computed from the data
might be negative. Your code will always produce positive numbers.

Hope this helps,

Hello,

That gives the *absolute* t-scores. If it's all you need/want, then the
answer is yes, you can.

Hope this helps,

Hello,

Can I apply the quantile function qt() this way?
qt(pvals/2, 406-34, lower.tail = F)
to get the T-scores?

Thanks
Ama
