Formal aspects of hypothesis testing

Null and Alternative Hypotheses Null hypothesis (H0)
sets the ‘what if’ for calculating probabilities
Alternative hypothesis (Ha) sets the rejection region. Oddly enough, the alternative is usually what you have in mind to prove during the study.
50:0 H
50: aH
0: 210 H
0: 21 aH

TailsThe rejection region can fit into 1 or 2 tails of the sampling distribution of means. The RR is determined by the alternative hypothesis.

Review
Suppose Draw sampling
distribution of means. What is the shape of this
distribution? What is the mean of this
distribution? What is the standard
deviation of this distribution?

Statistical Decision Making
Must decide how to act even if uncertain (developed by Fisher for agriculture)
Make decisions like bets in gambling (null is false if null is improbable)
If we do this, some times we will be right; sometimes wrong.
We can calculate probabilities of mistakes and correct decisions. Some have names.

Decisions
Null true
Null False
Accept Null
Right, but…
Beta (type II error)
Reject
Null
Alpha
(type I error)
Correct rejection (power)
Population Condition
Sample Decision
Fire alarm No fire Fire
Alarm silent
Right, but…
Beta
Alarm sounds
Alpha Correct rejection
Three named probabilities:Alpha, beta, and power.

Researcher’s Choice
We can pick alpha (but usually .05) We can improve power by
Good alternative hypothesis Good design (minimize error) Large samples

Review
Define the following Alpha Beta Power
Why is it good to have alpha be a small number?
Why is it good to have power be a large number?
