3\title{statistical comparison of sets of values by randomization}
4\description{Compares means by bootstrap resampling of differences between empirical distributions}
5\usage{
6randomization.test(obs = obs, exp = exp, mu = 0, iter = 10000, two.tailed = FALSE)
7}
8%- maybe also 'usage' for other objects documented here.
9\arguments{
10  \item{obs}{a vector of numeric values}
11  \item{exp}{a vector of numeric values}
12  \item{mu}{the true difference in means}
13  \item{iter}{number of randomization comparisons to perform}
14  \item{two.tailed}{as default, the test is performed under a one-tailed assumption; if \code{two.tailed=FALSE}, probability values associated with either tail of the comparison distribution are returned,
15otherwise, a two-tailed result is returned}
16}
17\details{
18If a single value is supplied for \code{obs}, this test equates to finding the quantile in \code{exp} in which \code{obs} would be found (under a one-tailed test);
20\value{
21A list, whose contents are determined by the above argument:
22  \item{unnamed value}{if \code{two.tailed=TRUE}, this is the two-tailed p-value}
23  \item{diffs}{the full resampling distribution of differences between \code{obs} and \code{exp}, given \code{mu} }
24  \item{greater}{if \code{two.tailed=FALSE}, this is the p-value associated with the righthand tail}
25  \item{lesser}{if \code{two.tailed=FALSE}, this is the p-value associated with the lefthand tail}
