March 24, 2013. In this lecture note, we discuss the fundamentals of statistical hypothesis tests. Any statistical hypothesis test, no matter how complex it is, is based on the following logic of stochastic proof by contradiction. In mathematics, proof by contradiction is a proof technique where we begin by assuming the validity of a hypothesis ...

Use the test statistic to determine the p-value. 4. The result is statistically significant if the p-value is less than or equal to the level of significance.

the value specified by H0 is called a two-sided (or two-tailed) test, e.g. H0: µ = 100 HA: µ <> 100 I. Whether you use a 1-tailed or 2-tailed test depends on the nature of the problem. Usually we use a 2-tailed test. A 1-tailed test typically requires a little more theory. Introduction to Hypothesis Testing - Page 1

For the test statistic t = T(D) we selected in step 1, we call the population value of t as q. Based on this we can formulate the following hypotheses: null hypothesis: H0: q = q0 alternative hypothesis: H1: q > q0 As one can see, the way the two hypotheses are formulated, the value of the population parameter.

4 Hypothesis Testing Rather than looking at con-dence intervals associated with model parameters, we might formulate a question associated with the data in terms of a hypothesis. In particular, we have a so-called null hypothesis which refers to some basic premise which to we will adhere unless evidence from the data causes us to abandon it.

Enter statistics. Hypothesis testing formalizes our intuition on this question. It quantifies: in what % of parallel worlds would the results have come out this way? This is what we call a p-value. p<.05 intuitively means "a result like this is likely to have come up in at least 95% of parallel worlds" (parallel world = sample)

In general, a hypothesis test is implemented using a decision rule given the test statistic. We focus on decision rules like the following:: \If jT(Y)j s, then reject the null; otherwise accept the null." In other words, the test statistics we consider will have the property that they are unlikely to have large magnitude under the
