In this article, we use a measure of expected true evidence for determine the required sample size in type-II censored experiments for obtaining statistical evidence in favor of one hypothesis about the exponential mean against another.

Statistical power analysis must be discussed in the context of statistical hypothesis testing. Hence, this discussion starts with a brief introduction to statistical hypothesis testing, paying particular attention to topics that relate to power analysis and sample size determination. Although the theory behind hypothesis testing is general, its concepts can be reviewed by discussing simple case...

The main purpose of this paper is to generate discussions which may improve how we conduct empirical software engineering studies. Our position is that statistical hypothesis testing plays a too large role in empirical software engineering studies. The problems of applying statistical hypothesis testing in empirical software engineering studies is illustrated by the finding: Only 3 out of the 4...

Statistical rituals largely eliminate statistical thinking in the social sciences. Rituals are indispensable for identification with social groups, but they should be the subject rather than the procedure of science. What I call the “null ritual” consists of three steps: (1) set up a statistical null hypothesis, but do not specify your own hypothesis nor any alternative hypothesis, (2) use the ...

The null-hypothesis significance-test procedure (NHSTP) is defended in the context of the theory-corroboration experiment, as well as the following contrasts: (a) substantive hypotheses versus statistical hypotheses, (b) theory corroboration versus statistical hypothesis testing, (c) theoretical inference versus statistical decision, (d) experiments versus nonexperimental studies, and (e) theor...
