Null Hypothesis Significance Testing II Class 18 , 18
نویسنده
چکیده
We continue our study of significance tests. In these notes we will introduce two new tests: one-sample t-tests and two-sample t-tests. You should pay careful attention to the fact that every test makes some assumptions about the data – often that is drawn from a normal distribution. You should also notice that all the tests follow the same pattern. It is just the computation of the test statistic and the type of the null distribution that changes.

Frequentist statistics is often applied in the framework of null hypothesis significance testing (NHST). We will look at the Neyman-Pearson paradigm which focuses on one hypothesis called the null hypothesis. There are other paradigms for hypothesis testing, but NeymanPearson is the most common. Stated simply, this method asks if the data is well outside the region where we would expect to see ...

Frequentist statistics is often applied in the framework of null hypothesis significance testing (NHST). We will look at the Neyman-Pearson paradigm which focuses on one hypothesis called the null hypothesis: for example, that the tested treatment has no effect on the progress of the disease. There are other paradigms for hypothesis testing, but NeymanPearson is the most common. Stated simply, ...
متن کاملNo-decision classification: an alternative to testing
11 This paper proposes a new statistical technique for deciding which of two theories is better supported 12 by a given set of data while allowing for the possibility of drawing no conclusion at all. Procedurally 13 similar to the classical hypothesis test, the proposed technique features three, as opposed to two, 14 mutually exclusive data classifications: reject the null, reject the alternati...
متن کاملTesting a Point Null Hypothesis against One-Sided for Non Regular and Exponential Families: The Reconcilability Condition to P-values and Posterior Probability
In this paper, the reconcilability between the P-value and the posterior probability in testing a point null hypothesis against the one-sided hypothesis is considered. Two essential families, non regular and exponential family of distributions, are studied. It was shown in a non regular family of distributions; in some cases, it is possible to find a prior distribution function under which P-va...
