Abstract

In comparing two population means, the test statistic depends on the sample means and the variances, which are very sensitive to the extremely large or small values. This paper aims at examining the behavior of such observations using proper criterion which can measure the influence of them. We derive a computationally feasible statistic which can detect influential observations on the two-sample t-statistic.
