Bayesian t tests for accepting and rejecting the null hypothesis.
Progress in science often comes from discovering invariances in relationships among variables; these invariances often correspond to null hypotheses. As is commonly known, it is not possible to state evidence for the null hypothesis in conventional significance testing. Here we highlight a Bayes factor alternative to the conventional t test that will allow researchers to express preference for ...
متن کاملDNA Statistics and the Null Hypothesis
Machine learning algorithms are being developed and refined at a rapid pace, and have shown tremendous utility for analyzing “big data”. Big data typically involves high‐dimensional data, but where the number of samples (data points) is much larger than the number of dimensions. Recently, machine learning techniques have been applied to DNA data. See [1] for an overview of machine learning in b...
متن کاملBayes Factor 1 Running head: BAYES FACTOR A Bayes Factor Calculation for Accepting the Null Hypothesis
Progress in science often comes from discovering invariances in the relationship between variables. Invariances correspond to null hypotheses. As is commonly known, it is not possible to accumulate evidence for the null hypothesis in conventional significance testing. We highlight a Bayes factor alternative to the t-test for accumulating evidence for either the null or alternative hypotheses. T...
متن کاملMoving Beyond Traditional Null Hypothesis Testing: Evaluating Expectations Directly
This mini-review illustrates that testing the traditional null hypothesis is not always the appropriate strategy. Half in jest, we discuss Aristotle's scientific investigations into the shape of the earth in the context of evaluating the traditional null hypothesis. We conclude that Aristotle was actually interested in evaluating informative hypotheses. In contemporary science the situation is ...
متن کاملThe Null Hypothesis
Page 2 of 8 2/26/09 In many sciences including for example, ecology, medicine, and psychology, null hypothesis significance testing (NHST) is the primary means by which the numbers comprising the data from some experiment are translated into conclusions about the question(s) that the experiment was designed to address. In this entry, I make three main points. First, I provide a brief descriptio...
