  2. Null hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_hypothesis

    A possible null hypothesis is that the mean male score is the same as the mean female score: H 0: μ 1 = μ 2. where H 0 = the null hypothesis, μ 1 = the mean of population 1, and μ 2 = the mean of population 2. A stronger null hypothesis is that the two samples have equal variances and shapes of their respective distributions.

  3. Type I and type II errors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_I_and_type_II_errors

    The consistent application by statisticians of Neyman and Pearson's convention of representing "the hypothesis to be tested" (or "the hypothesis to be nullified") with the expression H 0 has led to circumstances where many understand the term "the null hypothesis" as meaning "the nil hypothesis" – a statement that the results in question have ...

  4. 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

  5. Falsifiability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falsifiability

    In statistical language, the potential falsifier that can be statistically accepted (not rejected to say it more correctly) is typically the null hypothesis, as understood even in popular accounts on falsifiability. [52] [53] [54] Different ways are used by statisticians to draw conclusions about hypotheses on the basis of available evidence.

  6. Hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothesis

    In statistical hypothesis testing, two hypotheses are compared. These are called the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis. The null hypothesis is the hypothesis that states that there is no relation between the phenomena whose relation is under investigation, or at least not of the form given by the alternative hypothesis.

  7. Homoscedasticity and heteroscedasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homoscedasticity_and...

    The null hypothesis of this chi-squared test is homoscedasticity, and the alternative hypothesis would indicate heteroscedasticity. Since the Breusch–Pagan test is sensitive to departures from normality or small sample sizes, the Koenker–Bassett or 'generalized Breusch–Pagan' test is commonly used instead.

  8. Omnibus test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omnibus_test

    The β0 coefficient goes with the constant predictor and is usually not of interest. The null hypothesis is generally thought to be false and is easily rejected with a reasonable amount of data, but in contrary to ANOVA, it is important to do the test anyway. When the null hypothesis cannot be rejected, this means the data are completely worthless.

  9. Test statistic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_statistic

    the exact sampling distribution of T under the null hypothesis is the binomial distribution with parameters 0.5 and 100. the value of T can be compared with its expected value under the null hypothesis of 50, and since the sample size is large, a normal distribution can be used as an approximation to the sampling distribution either for T or ...
