Introducing the logic of hypothesis tests though randomisation tests
نویسنده
چکیده
There has been a lot of interest in the use of randomisation tests as a pedagogic alternative to hypothesis tests (Zieffler, 2012), although proposals to use randomisation tests in research are far from new (e.g. Hooton, 1991) with Good (2000) being an updated classic text in this area. This article will present a classroom activity that demonstrates the randomisation tests as a means of understanding several of the concepts around hypothesis testing in a manner that is as friendly as possible for maths-phobic and indeed computer-phobic students.

Testing for Stochastic Non- Linearity in the Rational Expectations Permanent Income Hypothesis
The Rational Expectations Permanent Income Hypothesis implies that consumption follows a martingale. However, most empirical tests have rejected the hypothesis. Those empirical tests are based on linear models. If the data generating process is non-linear, conventional tests may not assess some of the randomness properly. As a result, inference based on conventional tests of linear models can b...
متن کاملIntroducing a Non-Dichotomous Method for Scoring Selected-Response Tests
The main purpose of this study was to introduce a new non-dichotomous scoring procedure for the multiple-choice test method, called Parledge. The research also aimed to determine Parledge characteristics through a psychometric study comparing it with the “Number Correct” and “Correction for Guessing” scoring methods. There were 35 students participating in the study who were given a vocabulary ...
متن کاملHYPOTHESIS TESTING FOR AN EXCHANGEABLE NORMAL DISTRIBUTION
Consider an exchangeable normal vector with parameters ????2, and ?. On the basis of a vector observation some tests about these parameters are found and their properties are discussed. A simulation study for these tests and a few nonparametric tests are presented. Some advantages and disadvantages of these tests are discussed and a few applications are given.

This paper presents the results of tests on the weak form of Efficient Market Hypothesis applied to carbon efficient stock market indices of India, the United States of America (USA), Japan, and Brazil and their corresponding market indices which are used as their benchmark indices. In this study, Kolmogrov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk tests are used to test the normality of data. Run test and auto...
متن کاملDo Baseline P-Values Follow a Uniform Distribution in Randomised Trials?
BACKGROUND The theory has been put forward that if a null hypothesis is true, P-values should follow a Uniform distribution. This can be used to check the validity of randomisation. METHOD The theory was tested by simulation for two sample t tests for data from a Normal distribution and a Lognormal distribution, for two sample t tests which are not independent, and for chi-squared and Fisher'...
