Thank you for using your stats and programming gifts in such a useful, generous manner. -Jess
Severity Assessment: Mayo's severity assessment can be toggled by clicking on a sample. This only works when the sample distribution show "mean" values. The highlighted sample is draggable.
If we assume that the population mean is 100.0, then our test would reject the null hypothesis 5.0% of the time.
Another quotation from that. "Harold Jeffreys recommends the lump prior only to capture cases where a special value of a parameter is deemed plausible" Sadly in many experiments, zero (or near zero) effects are only too plausible. @dnunan79

P-values are often misinterpreted or misused. My goal with this page is to explain p-values through an interactive simulation. (This is an early release that is still under development!).
For most tests, the null hypothesis is that there is no relationship between your variables of interest or that there is no difference among groups.
How small is small enough? The most common threshold is p < 0.05; that is, when you would expect to find a test statistic as extreme as the one calculated by your test only 5% of the time. But the threshold depends on your field of study – some fields prefer thresholds of 0.01, or even 0.001.
This is because the smaller your frame of reference, the greater the chance that you stumble across a statistically significant pattern completely by accident.
P -values and statistical significance. P -values are most often used by researchers to say whether a certain pattern they have measured is statistically significant . Statistical significance is another way of saying that the p- value of a statistical test is small enough to reject the null hypothesis of the test.
The number of independent variables you include in your test changes how large or small the test statistic needs to be to generate the same p -value.
They can also be estimated using p -value tables for the relevant test statistic. P -values are calculated from the null distribution of the test statistic.
The calculation of the p -value depends on the statistical test you are using to test your hypothesis: 1 Different statistical tests have different assumptions and generate different test statistics. You should choose the statistical test that best fits your data and matches the effect or relationship you want to test. 2 The number of independent variables you include in your test changes how large or small the test statistic needs to be to generate the same p -value.
The Z-score is found by assuming that the null hypothesis is true, subtracting the assumed mean, and dividing by the theoretical standard deviation. Once the Z-score is found the probability that the value could be less the Z-score is found using the pnorm command. This is not enough to get the p value.
With these definitions the standard error is the square root of (sd1^2)/num1+ (sd2^2)/num2. The associated t-score is m1 minus m2 all divided by the standard error. The R comands to do this can be found below:
