Sentences with phrase «frequentist hypothesis test»

Such a frequentist hypothesis test for this problem would not reject the hypothesis that the parameter had a particular value that turns out to have close to the largest likelihood, at any reasonable significance threshold.

However that is a statistical non-sequitur, based on a poor understanding of frequentist hypothesis testing, unless the test can be shown to have adequate statistical power (which seems never to be mentioned by those claiming a pause in warming).

This is one of the known problems with frequentist hypothesis testing.

Not exact matches

But we do not need to know that much more: in a frequentist setting the explanatory power of hypothesis testing is quite minimal, for the null hypothesis merely orients the burden of proof, or refutation if we are to take seriously the myth of falsification.

Standard frequentist tests of a null hypothesis based on a Gaussian observation are also unaffected by such a monotonic transformation.

RA Fisher (essentially the inventor of null hypothesis statistical tests) wrote that the significance level should depend on the nature of the hypothesis and the experiment (most particularly your prior beliefs about the plausibility of the two hypotheses under consideration — ironically something that frequentist statistics can not quantify directly).

A frequentist statistical test can not tell you the probability that a particular hypothesis is wrong because the frequentist framework defines probabilities in terms of long - run frequencies (hence the name) and the correctness of a particular hypothesis does not have a long run frequency, it is either true or it isn't.
