  2. p-value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P-value

    After analyzing the data, if the p-value is less than α, that is taken to mean that the observed data is sufficiently inconsistent with the null hypothesis for the null hypothesis to be rejected. However, that does not prove that the null hypothesis is false. The p-value does not, in itself, establish probabilities of hypotheses. Rather, it is ...

  3. Pearson correlation coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearson_correlation...

    The p-value for the permutation test is the proportion of the r values generated in step (2) that are larger than the Pearson correlation coefficient that was calculated from the original data. Here "larger" can mean either that the value is larger in magnitude, or larger in signed value, depending on whether a two-sided or one-sided test is ...

  4. One- and two-tailed tests - Wikipedia

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

    The p-value was introduced by Karl Pearson [6] in the Pearson's chi-squared test, where he defined P (original notation) as the probability that the statistic would be at or above a given level. This is a one-tailed definition, and the chi-squared distribution is asymmetric, only assuming positive or zero values, and has only one tail, the ...

  5. Fisher's exact test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisher's_exact_test

    An approach used by the fisher.test function in R is to compute the p-value by summing the probabilities for all tables with probabilities less than or equal to that of the observed table. In the example here, the 2-sided p-value is twice the 1-sided value—but in general these can differ substantially for tables with small counts, unlike the ...

  6. Yates's correction for continuity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yates's_correction_for...

    This reduces the chi-squared value obtained and thus increases its p-value. The effect of Yates's correction is to prevent overestimation of statistical significance for small data. This formula is chiefly used when at least one cell of the table has an expected count smaller than 5. = =

  7. Fisher's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisher's_method

    Under Fisher's method, two small p-values P 1 and P 2 combine to form a smaller p-value.The darkest boundary defines the region where the meta-analysis p-value is below 0.05.. For example, if both p-values are around 0.10, or if one is around 0.04 and one is around 0.25, the meta-analysis p-value is around 0

  8. Harmonic mean p-value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_mean_p-value

    The weighted harmonic mean of p-values , …, is defined as = = = /, where , …, are weights that must sum to one, i.e. = =.Equal weights may be chosen, in which case = /.. In general, interpreting the HMP directly as a p-value is anti-conservative, meaning that the false positive rate is higher than expected.

  9. Misuse of p-values - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misuse_of_p-values

    The p-value is not the probability that the observed effects were produced by random chance alone. [2] The p-value is computed under the assumption that a certain model, usually the null hypothesis, is true. This means that the p-value is a statement about the relation of the data to that hypothesis. [2]
