Ad b. I don't know where upon you base your impression of inferiority
of the new tests. It look like they have more possibilities than the
older one.
Also, given correct settings the results are the same, as is shown
below:
In[10]:= MeanDifferenceTest[{1, 2, 4, 6, 3}, {4, 10, 6, 8, 5, 8}, 0,
EqualVariances -> True, TwoSided -> True]
Out[10]= TwoSidedPValue -> 0.0188017
In[8]:= LocationEquivalenceTest[{{1, 2, 4, 6, 3}, {4, 10, 6, 8, 5,
8}}, "KSampleT"]
Out[8]= 0.0188017
In[22]:= LocationTest[{{1, 2, 4, 6, 3}, {4, 10, 6, 8, 5, 8}}, 0, "T"]
Out[22]= 0.0188017

Furthermore, the commands that are supposed to replace it, like LocationEquivalenceTest, seem inferior, and produce different results. How to interpret such differences? Anyway I hope MeanDifferenceTest is not wiped from the surface of the earth!
