  1. Hypothesis Testing

    Hypothesis testing is a formal procedure for investigating our ideas about the world using statistics. It is most often used by scientists to test specific predictions, called hypotheses, that arise from theories.

  2. Understanding Statistical Testing

    Abstract. Statistical hypothesis testing is common in research, but a conventional understanding sometimes leads to mistaken application and misinterpretation. The logic of hypothesis testing presented in this article provides for a clearer understanding, application, and interpretation. Key conclusions are that (a) the magnitude of an estimate ...

    Statistical hypothesis testing is among the most misunderstood quantitative analysis methods from data science. Despite its seeming simplicity, it has complex interdependencies between its procedural components. In this paper, we discuss the underlying logic behind statistical hypothesis testing, the formal meaning of its components and their connections. Our presentation is applicable to all ...

    In this paper, we discuss the underlying logic behind statistical hypothesis testing, the formal meaning of its components and their connections.

  6. Hypothesis Testing in the Real World

    Null hypothesis significance testing may sometimes be misunderstood or misapplied, but these problems should be addressed by improved education. Keywords: common sense logic, hypothesis testing, statistical methods One important goal of statistical analysis is to find real patterns in data.

  7. 7.1: Logic and Purpose of Hypothesis Testing

    To assess the plausibility of the hypothesis that the difference in mean times is due to chance, we compute the probability of getting a difference as large or larger than the observed difference (31.4 - 24.7 = 6.7 minutes) if the difference were, in fact, due solely to chance. Using methods presented in later chapters, this probability can be ...

  8. PDF Introduction to Hypothesis Testing

    Hypothesis testing, or significance test-ing, a method of testing a claim or hypothesis about a parameter in a population, using data measured in a sample. In this method, we test some hypothesis by determining the likeli hood that a sample statistic could have been selected, if the hypothesis regarding the popu lation parameter were true.

  9. Logic of Hypothesis Testing

    This discussion addresses the classical or frequentist approach to hypothesis testing. The Bayesian approach takes things further, allowing determination of the probability that the null hypothesis is false given frequentist methods have resulted in rejection of the null hypothesis.

  11. Hypothesis Testing: Definition, Uses, Limitations + Examples

    Hypothesis testing is as old as the scientific method and is at the heart of the research process. Research exists to validate or disprove assumptions about various phenomena. The process of validation involves testing and it is in this context that we will explore hypothesis testing.

  12. 11: Logic of Hypothesis Testing

    11: Logic of Hypothesis Testing. When interpreting an experimental finding, a natural question arises as to whether the finding could have occurred by chance. Hypothesis testing is a statistical procedure for testing whether chance is a plausible explanation of an experimental finding. Misconceptions about hypothesis testing are common among ...

  13. Hypothesis Testing

    Hypothesis testing is a scientific method used for making a decision and drawing conclusions by using a statistical approach. It is used to suggest new ideas by testing theories to know whether or not the sample data supports research. A research hypothesis is a predictive statement that has to be tested using scientific methods that join an ...

  14. The Research Hypothesis: Role and Construction

    A hypothesis (from the Greek, foundation) is a logical construct, interposed between a problem and its solution, which represents a proposed answer to a research question. It gives direction to the investigator's thinking about the problem and, therefore, facilitates a solution. Unlike facts and assumptions (presumed true and, therefore, not ...

  15. Understanding Null Hypothesis Testing

    The Logic of Null Hypothesis Testing Null hypothesis testing is a formal approach to deciding between two interpretations of a statistical relationship in a sample. One interpretation is called the null hypothesis (often symbolized H0 and read as "H-naught"). This is the idea that there is no relationship in the population and that the relationship in the sample reflects only sampling ...

  16. A Practical Guide to Writing Quantitative and Qualitative Research

    Unlike in quantitative research where hypotheses are usually developed to be tested, qualitative research can lead to both hypothesis-testing and hypothesis-generating outcomes. 2 When studies require both quantitative and qualitative research questions, this suggests an integrative process between both research methods wherein a single mixed ...

  17. PDF Microsoft Word

    The logic of hypothesis testing has posed a large problem in research. See articles by Cohen (1994) and Dar, Serlin, and Omer (1993). Unfortunately, since it is the trade of the land, you will need to understand it. Therefore, while suggesting that you consider the use of exploratory data analysis and confidence intervals, I will, nonetheless, continue to explore the logic with you at this time.

  19. Deductive Approach (Deductive Reasoning)

    Deductive research approach explores a known theory or phenomenon and tests if that theory is valid in given circumstances. It has been noted that "the deductive approach follows the path of logic most closely. The reasoning starts with a theory and leads to a new hypothesis. This hypothesis is put to the test by confronting it with ...

  20. Understanding Hypothesis Testing

    Hypothesis testing is an important procedure in statistics. Hypothesis testing evaluates two mutually exclusive population statements to determine which statement is most supported by sample data. When we say that the findings are statistically significant, thanks to hypothesis testing.

  21. PDF RESEARCH METHODOLOGY HYPOTHESIS

    portant mechanism in Research. Hypothesis is a tentative assumption made in order to test its logical or empirical consequences. If we go by the origin of the word, it is derived from the Greek word- 'hypotithenai' meaning 'to put under' or to 'to suppose'. Etymologically hypothesis is made up of two words, "hypo" and "thesis" which means less than or less certain than a ...

  22. Concept of Hypothesis Testing: Logic and Importance

    Hypothesis Testing Hypothesis testing was introduced by Ronald Fisher, Jerzy Neyman, Karl Pearson and Pearson's son, Egon Pearson. Hypothesis testing is a statistical method that is used in making statistical decisions using experimental data. Hypothesis Testing is basically an assumption that we make about the population parameter.
