    This is known as the p-value, and it is calculated by using a statistical test such as a t-test or a chi-square test. If the p-value is below a certain threshold (typically 0.05), then the null hypothesis is rejected and the alternative hypothesis is accepted. ##Advantages of NHST

  4. Biostatistics

    Hypothesis testing is a statistical method to evaluate the validity of a claim or hypothesis about a population parameter. The process involves: Null Hypothesis (H0): A statement of no effect or no difference. Alternative Hypothesis (Ha): A statement that contradicts the null hypothesis. p-value: The probability of obtaining the observed data ...

  5. p-Value, Statistical Significance & Types of Error

    In actuality the chance of the null hypothesis being true is not 3% like we calculated, but is actually 100%. Statistical Hypothesis Tests: Statistical hypothesis testing is how we test the null hypothesis. For the USMLE Step 1 Medical Board Exam all you need to know when to use the different tests.

    Hypothesis testing can also be used to evaluate the results of a clinical trial or epidemiological study. The null hypothesis is typically the hypothesis of no effect, and the alternative hypothesis is typically the hypothesis of a real effect. If the null hypothesis is rejected, then it is assumed that the alternative hypothesis is true.

  7. Statistical Hypotheses and Error

    Probability of correctly accepting null hypothesis. Confidence Interval. Range of values associated with a confidence level indicating the likelihood that the true population value of a parameter falls within that range. usually done with 95% confidence interval (2 standard deviations from the mean)

  8. Hypothesis testing

    If the p value obtained from the study is = or < 0.05 then the null hypothesis is rejected and the alternate hypothesis is accepted. The result is said to be statistically significant. If the 95% confidence interval includes 0 then there is no significance and the null hypothesis is not rejected.

  13. Measures of Statistical Significance and Effect Size

    This means that if the probability of obtaining the observed result is 5% or less, then the result is considered statistically significant, and the null hypothesis is rejected. Odds Ratio An odds ratio (OR) is a measure of effect size that is used to compare the odds of an event occurring in one group to the odds of the same event occurring in ...

    The null hypothesis is a statement that there is no difference between the two populations being tested. The alternative hypothesis is a statement that there is a difference between the two populations being tested. The test is then used to determine if the null hypothesis can be rejected; if it can, then the alternative hypothesis is accepted.

    At this point, you might use a statistical test, like unpaired or 2-sample t-test, to see if there's a significant difference between the two groups' means. Typically, an unpaired t-test starts with two hypotheses. The first hypothesis is called the null hypothesis, and it basically says there's no difference in the means of the two groups.

  20. 9.1: Null and Alternative Hypotheses

    The actual test begins by considering two hypotheses.They are called the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis.These hypotheses contain opposing viewpoints. \(H_0\): The null hypothesis: It is a statement of no difference between the variables—they are not related. This can often be considered the status quo and as a result if you cannot accept the null it requires some action.

  21. Statistical analysis of data

    Statistical analysis is one of the principal tools employed in. epidemiology. , which is primarily concerned with the study of health and disease in populations and its clinical applications. Statistics is the science of collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data, and a good epidemiological study depends on statistical methods being employed ...

A study with low power may fail to detect a true effect. Sample size calculation is crucial to ensure adequate power. Increasing the sample size generally improves the power of a study.
