Pitfalls of statistical hypothesis testing: multiple testing.
The word " five " is missing from the third sentence of the fifth paragraph in the online answers to this Endgames article by Philip Sedgwick (BMJ 2014;349:g5310, doi:10.1136/bmj. g5310). The sentence should have read: " For example, the probability of a significant result when there are two, three, four, and five hypothesis tests is 0.

متن کاملStatistical Hypothesis Testing and Private Information∗
This paper provides a rationalization for using classical one-sided hypothesis tests for approving innovations, such as new drugs or treatment programs. I consider statistical testing as a strategy of the regulator in a game against informed proponents who can profit from the regulator’s acceptance decision even for ineffective innovations. Lower test size deters proponents from attempting cost...
متن کاملStatistical significance and statistical power in hypothesis testing.
Experimental design requires estimation of the sample size required to produce a meaningful conclusion. Often, experimental results are performed with sample sizes which are inappropriate to adequately support the conclusions made. In this paper, two factors which are involved in sample size estimation are detailed--namely type I (alpha) and type II (beta) error. Type I error can be considered ...
متن کاملStatistical Hypothesis Testing in Positive Unlabelled Data
We propose a set of novel methodologies which enable valid statistical hypothesis testing when we have only positive and unlabelled (PU) examples. This type of problem, a special case of semi-supervised data, is common in text mining, bioinformatics, and computer vision. Focusing on a generalised likelihood ratio test, we have 3 key contributions: (1) a proof that assuming all unlabelled exampl...
