Bayesian Testing of a Point Null Hypothesis Based on the Latent Information Prior
Bayesian testing of a point null hypothesis is considered. The null hypothesis is that an observation, x, is distributed according to the normal distribution with a mean of zero and known variance σ. The alternative hypothesis is that x is distributed according to a normal distribution with an unknown nonzero mean, μ, and variance σ. The testing problem is formulated as a prediction problem. Ba...
متن کاملBayesian Fuzzy Hypothesis Testing with Imprecise Prior Distribution
This paper considers the testing of fuzzy hypotheses on the basis of a Bayesian approach. For this, using a notion of prior distribution with interval or fuzzy-valued parameters, we extend a concept of posterior probability of a fuzzy hypothesis. Some of its properties are also put into investigation. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed methods are also cla...
متن کاملBayesian point null hypothesis testing via the posterior likelihood ratio
Neyman-Pearson or frequentist inference and Bayes inference are most clearly differentiated by their approaches to point null hypothesis testing. With very large samples, the frequentist and Bayesian conclusions from a classical test of significance for a point null hypothesis can be contradictory, with a small frequentist P -value casting serious doubt on the null hypothesis, but a large Bayes...
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...
متن کاملA tutorial on a practical Bayesian alternative to null-hypothesis significance testing.
Null-hypothesis significance testing remains the standard inferential tool in cognitive science despite its serious disadvantages. Primary among these is the fact that the resulting probability value does not tell the researcher what he or she usually wants to know: How probable is a hypothesis, given the obtained data? Inspired by developments presented by Wagenmakers (Psychonomic Bulletin & R...
