Introduction

Rajendra Choure Hypothesis Testing

Hypothesis

its an assumption made about the data of the population.

Null hypothesis
Its the more conservative assumption about the data, This
assumption is generally acceptable without any further proof.

Alternative hypothesis
This hypothesis is devation from the accepted fact.

Hypothesis testing

1. The process of data analysis to make a claim about the data .

2. The data is subjected to appropriate statistical test
3. Goal is to find out probability of null hypthesis being true.

Steps in hypothesis testing

1. Formulate hypothesis
2. decide strategy for analysis of data
3. Apply the test
4. explain the results

Decesion Errors

1. Type 1 error ( false negative)

1.1 Reject null hypothesis even when it is true
1.2 α or significance level is the probability of type I error.
2. Type II error
2.1 Accept null hypothesis even when it is false
2.2 β or power of the test is the probability of type II error

Methods of hypothesis testing

1. Parametric tests

Distribution underlying the data is normal

2. Non parametric tests

Distribution underlyig the data is not normal

Parametric tests to compare two groups

1. Student’s t-test
2. Two-Sample t-test with Unequal Variance
3. One-Sample t-testing
4. paired t-test

Non parametric tests to compare two groups

1. µ = test

Alternative names : Mann—Whitney µ = test or Wilcoxon sign

rank test

1. One-Sample $\mu =test$

2. Two-Sample $\mu =test$
