Statistical Hypothesis Testing in Positive Unlabelled Data
We propose a set of novel methodologies which enable valid statistical hypothesis testing when we have only positive and unlabelled (PU) examples. This type of problem, a special case of semi-supervised data, is common in text mining, bioinformatics, and computer vision. Focusing on a generalised likelihood ratio test, we have 3 key contributions: (1) a proof that assuming all unlabelled exampl...

متن کاملStatistical Detection of LSB Matching Using Hypothesis Testing Theory
This paper investigates the detection of information hidden by the Least Significant Bit (LSB) matching scheme. In a theoretical context of known image media parameters, two important results are presented. First, the use of hypothesis testing theory allows us to design the Most Powerful (MP) test. Second, a study of the MP test gives us the opportunity to analytically calculate its statistical...
متن کاملReliability Criteria in Information Theory and in Statistical Hypothesis Testing
This survey is devoted to one of the central problems of Information Theory — the problem of determination of interdependence between coding rate and error probability exponent for different information transmission systems. The overview deals with memoryless systems of finite alphabet setting. It presents material complementary to the contents of the series of the most remarkable in Informatio...
متن کاملHypothesis Testing, Decision Theory, and Common Sense in Resource Management
Progress in science is presumed to occur through the hypothetico-deductive method. Balanced experimental design and rigorous statistical hypothesis testing control for extraneous factors and focus attention only on the effect of interest (Connor & Simberloff 1986). This powerful approach and inferences derived from results of rigorous statistical tests are convincing and effective evaluations o...
