  2. p-value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P-value

    The p-value was first formally introduced by Karl Pearson, in his Pearson's chi-squared test, [39] using the chi-squared distribution and notated as capital P. [39] The p-values for the chi-squared distribution (for various values of χ 2 and degrees of freedom), now notated as P, were calculated in (Elderton 1902), collected in (Pearson 1914 ...

  3. Student's t-test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student's_t-test

    The t-test p-value for the difference in means, and the regression p-value for the slope, are both 0.00805. The methods give identical results. This example shows that, for the special case of a simple linear regression where there is a single x-variable that has values 0 and 1, the t-test gives the same results as the linear regression. The ...

  4. t-statistic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-statistic

    Most frequently, t statistics are used in Student's t-tests, a form of statistical hypothesis testing, and in the computation of certain confidence intervals. The key property of the t statistic is that it is a pivotal quantity – while defined in terms of the sample mean, its sampling distribution does not depend on the population parameters, and thus it can be used regardless of what these ...

  5. Statistical hypothesis test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_hypothesis_test

    The interpretation of a p-value is dependent upon stopping rule and definition of multiple comparison. The former often changes during the course of a study and the latter is unavoidably ambiguous. (i.e. "p values depend on both the (data) observed and on the other possible (data) that might have been observed but weren't"). [69]

  6. Student's t-distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student's_t-distribution

    For the statistic t, with ν degrees of freedom, A(t | ν) is the probability that t would be less than the observed value if the two means were the same (provided that the smaller mean is subtracted from the larger, so that t ≥ 0). It can be easily calculated from the cumulative distribution function F ν (t) of the t distribution:

  7. One- and two-tailed tests - Wikipedia

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

    A two-tailed test applied to the normal distribution. A one-tailed test, showing the p-value as the size of one tail. In statistical significance testing, a one-tailed test and a two-tailed test are alternative ways of computing the statistical significance of a parameter inferred from a data set, in terms of a test statistic. A two-tailed test ...

  9. Informal inferential reasoning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Informal_Inferential_Reasoning

    In statistics education, informal inferential reasoning (also called informal inference) refers to the process of making a generalization based on data (samples) about a wider universe (population/process) while taking into account uncertainty without using the formal statistical procedure or methods (e.g. P-values, t-test, hypothesis testing, significance test).
