  2. Alternative hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_hypothesis

    The statement that is being tested against the null hypothesis is the alternative hypothesis. [2] Alternative hypothesis is often denoted as H a or H 1. In statistical hypothesis testing, to prove the alternative hypothesis is true, it should be shown that the data is contradictory to the null hypothesis. Namely, there is sufficient evidence ...

  3. F-test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-test

    The F table serves as a reference guide containing critical F values for the distribution of the F-statistic under the assumption of a true null hypothesis. It is designed to help determine the threshold beyond which the F statistic is expected to exceed a controlled percentage of the time (e.g., 5%) when the null hypothesis is accurate.

  4. Type I and type II errors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_I_and_type_II_errors

    This is why the hypothesis under test is often called the null hypothesis (most likely, coined by Fisher (1935, p. 19)), because it is this hypothesis that is to be either nullified or not nullified by the test. When the null hypothesis is nullified, it is possible to conclude that data support the "alternative hypothesis" (which is the ...

  5. Power (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    We define two hypotheses the null hypothesis, and the alternative hypothesis. If we design the test such that α is the significance level - being the probability of rejecting H 0 {\displaystyle H_{0}} when H 0 {\displaystyle H_{0}} is in fact true, then the power of the test is 1 - β where β is the probability of failing to reject H 0 ...

  6. Augmented Dickey–Fuller test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augmented_Dickey–Fuller_test

    An alternative approach is to examine information criteria such as the Akaike information criterion, Bayesian information criterion or the Hannan–Quinn information criterion. The unit root test is then carried out under the null hypothesis γ = 0 {\displaystyle \gamma =0} against the alternative hypothesis of γ < 0. {\displaystyle \gamma <0.}

  7. Dickey–Fuller test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dickey–Fuller_test

    In statistics, the Dickey–Fuller test tests the null hypothesis that a unit root is present in an autoregressive (AR) time series model. The alternative hypothesis is different depending on which version of the test is used, but is usually stationarity or trend-stationarity.

  8. One- and two-tailed tests - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-_and_two-tailed_tests

    In this situation, if the estimated value exists in one of the one-sided critical areas, depending on the direction of interest (greater than or less than), the alternative hypothesis is accepted over the null hypothesis. Alternative names are one-sided and two-sided tests; the terminology "tail" is used because the extreme portions of ...

  9. Null distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_distribution

    Null distribution is a tool scientists often use when conducting experiments. The null distribution is the distribution of two sets of data under a null hypothesis. If the results of the two sets of data are not outside the parameters of the expected results, then the null hypothesis is said to be true. Null and alternative distribution
