Student's t test for unpaired or paired samples.
This file is applicable for equal or unequal sample sizes; for paired or
unpaired samples. When the test is unpaired, the Fisher-Snedecor F-test is
performed to assess the equality of variance. If variances are not equal,
Satterthwaite's approximate t test is performed.
Syntax: TESTT(X1,X2,TST,ALPHA,TAIL)

Inputs:
X1 and X2 - data vectors (mandatory).
TST - unpaired (0) or paired (1) test (default = 0).
ALPHA - significance level (default = 0.05).
TAIL - 1-tailed test (1) or 2-tailed test (2). (default = 1).
Outputs:
- t value.
- degrees of freedom.
- Confidence interval of means difference (for paired test)
- p-value
- Power
Example:
X1=[77 79 79 80 80 81 81 81 81 82 82 82 82 83 83 84 84 84 84 85 ...
85 86 86 87 87];

X2=[82 82 83 84 84 85 85 86 86 86 86 86 86 86 86 86 87 87 87 88 ...
88 88 89 90 90];
