Tests of Significance
1. Introduction In applied investigations, one is often interested in comparing some characteristic (such as the mean, the variance or a measure of association between two characters) of a group with a specified value, or in comparing two or more groups with regard to the characteristic. For instance, one may wish to compare two varieties of wheat with regard to the mean yield per hectare or to...
متن کاملStatistical significance tests.
Statistical methods for the analysis of data can be classed as descriptive or as probabilistic. The former methods include tabulation and graphical display, of great importance both in detailed analysis and also in presentation of conclusions. Probability enters statistical analysis in various ways. The most obvious is that one recognizes explicitly that conclusions drawn from limited data are ...
متن کاملSignificance Tests for Periodogram Peaks
We discuss methods currently in use for determining the significance of peaks in the periodograms of time series. We discuss some general methods for constructing significance tests, false alarm probability functions, and the role played in these by independent random variables and by empirical and theoretical cumulative distribution functions. We also discuss the concept of “independent freque...
متن کاملSignificance levels for multiple tests
Let X 1 . . . . . X, be n random variables, with cumulative distribution functions F1, . . . , F,. Define ¢i := Fi(Xi) for all i, and let ~(1) ~< ... ~< ~(,) be the order statistics of the (~)~. Let cq ~< ... ~< ~. be n numbers in the interval [0, 1]. We show that the probability of the event R := {(") ~< ct~ for all 1 ~< i ~< n} is at most min~n~Ji }. Moreover, this bound is exact: for any giv...
