5.1.4 t, df, p, and estimates are not identical between lm and t.test but text says they are

Under section 5.1.4 in https://lindeloev.github.io/tests-as-linear/#51_independent_t-test_and_mann-whitney_u, it says to notice the identical t, df and estimates but the df are not identical. Is the t even in the tables? Is it the mean? Or is that meant to refer to the results of the Mann Whitney U in section 5.1.5? Or am I confused about the same thing as https://github.com/lindeloev/tests-as-linear/issues/17?

Thanks for catching this! This is probably due to a recent commit where I changed the code that arrange data for the tables. It's a problem of display - not of the underlying stats. But it's serious enough! (This is not related to #17, though)

It also applies to section 6.1.3. Will fix soon.

Aaaah, got it - I haven't gotten to section 6.1.3 yet :sweat_smile: Thanks for this amazing writeup! It's so freeing to have all these tests in one framework and the visualizations help a lot.
