  2. One- and two-tailed tests - Wikipedia

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

    An example can be whether a machine produces more than one-percent defective products. 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.

  3. Statistical hypothesis test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_hypothesis_test

    An example of Neyman–Pearson hypothesis testing (or null hypothesis statistical significance testing) can be made by a change to the radioactive suitcase example. If the "suitcase" is actually a shielded container for the transportation of radioactive material, then a test might be used to select among three hypotheses: no radioactive source ...

    In the example above, if the discount is 10%, then the first if statement will be evaluated as true and "you have to pay $30" will be printed out. All other statements below that first if statement will be skipped. The elseif statement, in the Ada language for example, is simply syntactic sugar for else followed by if.

  5. Null hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_hypothesis

    For such a hypothesis the sampling distribution of any statistic is a function of the sample size alone. Composite hypothesis Any hypothesis which does not specify the population distribution completely. [4] Example: A hypothesis specifying a normal distribution with a specified mean and an unspecified variance.

  6. Omnibus test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omnibus_test

    The F statistics of the omnibus test is: = = (¯ ¯) = = (¯) Where, ¯ is the overall sample mean, ¯ is the group j sample mean, k is the number of groups and n j is sample size of group j. The F statistic is distributed F (k-1,n-k),(α) under assumption of null hypothesis and normality assumption.

  7. Modus ponens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modus_ponens

    If P, then Q. P. Therefore, Q. The first premise is a conditional ("if–then") claim, namely that P implies Q. The second premise is an assertion that P, the antecedent of the conditional claim, is the case. From these two premises it can be logically concluded that Q, the consequent of the conditional claim, must be the case as well.

  8. Backward chaining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backward_chaining

    An example of backward chaining. If X croaks and X eats flies – Then X is a frog; If X chirps and X sings – Then X is a canary; If X is a frog – Then X is green; If X is a canary – Then X is yellow; With backward reasoning, an inference engine can determine whether Fritz is green in four steps.

  9. Hypothetico-deductive model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothetico-deductive_model

    The hypothetico-deductive model or method is a proposed description of the scientific method.According to it, scientific inquiry proceeds by formulating a hypothesis in a form that can be falsifiable, using a test on observable data where the outcome is not yet known.
