Results of 100,000 Simulations of a Balanced Permutation Test for the Difference of Means with n = 4 per Group

  Exp. < 36 Exp. = 36
Gaussian < 36 94217 801
Gaussian = 36 370 4612

The simulation was run with Gaussian values (all observations in both groups were independent N (0, 1)). Then it was rerun with values from the exponential distribution of mean 1.The simulations were coupled. The table shows counts of the number of times that the original permutation beat all 36 balanced permutations.
