Subjective significance judgments
Observers were presented with random spatial distributions of dots, inside and outside a small highlighted region, and required to judge to what extent their density was significantly different. Experiment 1 examined whether the absolute density of the target area affects significance judgments, and evaluated the size of this bias compared to that of the normative statistical significance, usin...
متن کاملOn Statistical Significance of Signal
A definition for the statistical significance of a signal in an experiment is proposed by establishing a correlation between the observed p-value and the normal distribution integral probability, which is suitable for both counting experiment and continuous test statistics. The explicit expressions to calculate the statistical significance for both cases are given.
متن کاملSubjective Statistical Inference Based on Pure Associations
The “Fourth axiom of probability theory” quickly yields Bayes Theorem – and hence how to deal with inverse probabilities (e.g., P(h|e) versus P(e|h)) – and shows in odds form the importance of likelihood ratios as opposed to simple likelihoods. This paper discusses a problem more basic than ignoring Bayes Theorem. The problem is making no comparisons at all! Just associating. Thus, if P(A|B) or...
متن کاملGood Word Attacks on Statistical Spam Filters
Unsolicited commercial email is a significant problem for users and providers of email services. While statistical spam filters have proven useful, senders of spam are learning to bypass these filters by systematically modifying their email messages. In a good word attack, one of the most common techniques, a spammer modifies a spam message by inserting or appending words indicative of legitima...
متن کاملChosen-IV Statistical Attacks on eStream Ciphers
d-Monomial tests are statistical randomness tests based on Algebraic Normal Form representation of a Boolean function, and were first introduced by Filiol in 2002. We show that there are strong indications that the Gate Complexity of a Boolean function is related to a bias detectable in a d-Monomial test. We then discuss how to effectively apply d-Monomial tests in chosen-IV attacks against str...
