Considering the Null
نویسنده
چکیده
While still the dominant method of statistical inference, the null hypothesis significance test (NHST) is controversial. Recently, it has been suggested to replace the traditional NHST with a Bayesian alternative using Bayes factors. While Bayesian tests resolve many of the problems that plague the traditional NHST, they still suffer from the issue that in rejecting the null hypothesis, one effectively rejects full knowledge in favour of (near) complete ignorance. Determining whether a parameter is likely to have a particular (null) value may be better served by Bayesian estimation and credibility intervals. Hypothesis testing may be more valuable after reformulating of the null hypothesis. This work explores a Bayesian hypothesis testing procedure in which the null hypothesis reflects a state of complete ignorance or lack of knowledge. The procedure has some useful properties, amongst which the imperative to develop informative hypotheses and an associated drive towards cumulative theory development.

Double-null operators and the investigation of Birkhoff's theorem on discrete lp spaces
Doubly stochastic matrices play a fundamental role in the theory of majorization. Birkhoff's theorem explains the relation between $ntimes n$ doubly stochastic matrices and permutations. In this paper, we first introduce double-null operators and we will find some important properties of them. Then with the help of double-null operators, we investigate Birkhoff's theorem for descreate $l^p$ sp...

Barrabès-Israel null shell formalism is used to study the gravitational collapse of a thin cylindrical null shell in vacuum. In general the lightlike matter shell whose history coincides with a null hypersurface is characterized by a surface energy density. In addition, a gravitational impulsive wave is present on this null hypersurface whose generators admit both the shear and expansion. In ...
متن کاملNull Allele Frequencies at HLA-G Locus in Iranian Healthy Subjects
Background: HLA-G gene contains 15 alleles including a null allele, HLA-G*0105N. Previous studies have shown that HLA-G*0105N does not encode the complete HLA-G1 or HLA-G5 isoforms but encodes a functional HLA-G protein with the ability to in-hibit NK cell cytolysis. Thus, although the biological functions of HLA-G1 and HLA-G5 proteins are abrogated, other isoforms such as HLA-G2 can replace th...

Background: The glutathione S-transferase (GST) family of metabolising enzymes plays an important role in the detoxification of mutagens and carcinogens. The expression of many of these cancer susceptibility enzymes is genetically polymorphic. An increased frequency of GST-null genotypes has been associated with several malignancies. Objective: To investigate the rate of GSTT1 and GSTM1 null ge...
