  2. Statistical hypothesis test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_hypothesis_test

    If the null hypothesis is valid, the only thing the test person can do is guess. For every card, the probability (relative frequency) of any single suit appearing is 1/4. If the alternative is valid, the test subject will predict the suit correctly with probability greater than 1/4. We will call the probability of guessing correctly p. The ...

  3. Probability of error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_of_error

    For a Type I error, it is shown as α (alpha) and is known as the size of the test and is 1 minus the specificity of the test. This quantity is sometimes referred to as the confidence of the test, or the level of significance (LOS) of the test. For a Type II error, it is shown as β (beta) and is 1 minus the power or 1 minus the sensitivity of ...

    where X k is the number of times outcome k is observed. If the null hypothesis of "fairness" is true, then the probability distribution of the test statistic can be made as close as desired to the chi-squared distribution with 5 degrees of freedom by making the sample size n sufficiently large.

  6. Lindley's paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindley's_paradox

    The hypothesis would have fit the observation much better than almost all other ratios, including For example, this choice of hypotheses and prior probabilities implies the statement "if θ {\displaystyle \theta } > 0.49 and θ {\displaystyle \theta } < 0.51, then the prior probability of θ {\displaystyle \theta } being exactly 0.5 is 0.50/0. ...

  7. Pearson's chi-squared test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearson's_chi-squared_test

    If the p-value is small enough (usually p < 0.05 by convention), then the null hypothesis is rejected, and we conclude that the observed data does not follow the multinomial distribution. A simple example is testing the hypothesis that an ordinary six-sided die is "fair" (i. e., all six outcomes are equally likely to occur).

  8. Type I and type II errors - Wikipedia

    In addition, we suppose that the measurements X 1, X 2, X 3 are modeled as normal distribution N(μ,2). Then, T should follow N(μ,2/) and the parameter μ represents the true speed of passing vehicle. In this experiment, the null hypothesis H 0 and the alternative hypothesis H 1 should be H 0: μ=120 against H 1: μ>120.

  9. Bootstrapping (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrapping_(statistics)

    An example of the first resample might look like this X 1 * = x 2, x 1, x 10, x 10, x 3, x 4, x 6, x 7, x 1, x 9. There are some duplicates since a bootstrap resample comes from sampling with replacement from the data. Also the number of data points in a bootstrap resample is equal to the number of data points in our original observations.
