An alternative to null-hypothesis significance tests.
نویسنده
چکیده
The statistic p(rep) estimates the probability of replicating an effect. It captures traditional publication criteria for signal-to-noise ratio, while avoiding parametric inference and the resulting Bayesian dilemma. In concert with effect size and replication intervals, p(rep) provides all of the information now used in evaluating research, while avoiding many of the pitfalls of traditional statistical inference.

Model checking for parametric single-index models: A dimension- reduction model-adaptive approach
Local smoothing testing based on multivariate nonparametric regression estimation is one of the main model checking methodologies in the literature. However, the relevant tests suffer from typical curse of dimensionality, resulting in slow convergence rates to their limits under the null hypothesis and less deviation from the null hypothesis under alternative hypotheses. This problem prevents t...
متن کاملPaper SD05 Using the SAS® System to Construct n-Values Plots
Often a statistical test is performed in which the observed outcome favors the alternative but the evidence in favor of the alternative is not statistically significant. Suppose that, for example, a researcher tests the hypothesis that the mean is 10 versus the alternative is less than 10 using a z-test. Suppose further that based on a sample of size 8, the p-value is 0.078 (hence the null hypo...
متن کاملBayesian 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 کاملThe Role of Significance Tests1
The main object of the paper is to give a general review of the nature and importance of significance tests. Such tests are regarded as procedures for measuring the consistency of data with a null hypothesis by the calculation of a p-value (tail area). A distinction is drawn between several kinds of null hypothesis. The ways of deriving tests, namely via the so-called absolute test, via implici...
متن کاملThe Effect Size: Beyond Statistical Significance
The branch of statistics known as inferential statistics tries to find out information about a population by studying a representative sample of that population. The main tools of inferential statistics are the statistical significance tests. Every statistical significance test includes two hypotheses; the null hypothesis (H0) and the alternative hypothesis (H1). The null hypothesis assumes tha...

In our discussion of hypothesis testing, we said that trees are statistically equivalent if p ≥ α. However, strictly speaking, failing to reject the null hypothesis does not imply that the null hypothesis is true. For example, it could be that enough variability exists in the sequence information to mask the differences in the statistical support of different topologies. We must therefore also ...
