Binomial test
Hypothesis tests · Method and input reference
Two-sided tests; z-test uses null variance (pooled for two groups). Binomial test is exact.
Open calculator · Compare methods in the decision matrix
When to consider it
- Single dichotomous variable compared to an expected proportion.
Assumptions and scope
- Independent binary trials with a common probability and a prespecified reference proportion.
Required inputs
- Successes — Enter the method parameter described above.
- Trials — Enter the method parameter described above.
- Null proportion — Enter the method parameter described above.
Review missing values and data coding before running. Sample inputs are synthetic teaching examples.
Implementation
Lifescio validates inputs and formats results; listed functions are the principal calculation routines, not an exhaustive transitive dependency list.
- scipy 1.15.3: scipy.stats.binomtest
