Median of the p Value Under the Alternative Hypothesis
@article{Bhattacharya2002MedianOT, title={Median of the p Value Under the Alternative Hypothesis}, author={Bhaskar Bhattacharya and Desale Habtzghi}, journal={The American Statistician}, year={2002}, volume={56}, pages={202 - 206} }
Due to absence of an universally acceptable magnitude of the Type I error in various fields, p values are used as a well-recognized tool in decision making in all areas of statistical practice. The distribution of p values under the null hypothesis is uniform. However, under the alternative hypothesis the distribution of the p values is skewed. The expected p value (EPV) has been proposed by authors to be used as a measure of the performance of the test. This article proposes the median of the…

Confusion surrounding the reporting and interpretation of results of classical statistical tests is widespread among applied researchers. The confusion stems from the fact that most of these…
Change Detection Based on the Distribution of p-Values
- Computer Science
- 2013
A new method based on the information about the distribution of p-values is presented and discussed in this article as well as classical methods such as Bonferroni correction and the Bonferronsi-Holm method which account for the multiple testing issue and consequently improve reliability of change detection.
