A statistic defined to improve the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test in the tail of a distribution.

Let {a_n} be a series of positive terms with a_(n+1)<=a_n. Then sum_(n=1)^(infty)a_n converges iff sum_(k=0)^infty2^ka_(2^k) converges.

An error in a statistical test which occurs when a false hypothesis is accepted (a false positive in terms of the null hypothesis).

An error in a statistical test which occurs when a true hypothesis is rejected (a false negative in terms of the null hypothesis).

D = f_(xx)f_(yy)-f_(xy)f_(yx) (1) = f_(xx)f_(yy)-f_(xy)^2, (2) where f_(ij) are partial derivatives.

A test to determine if a given series converges or diverges.

The determination of a test for the equality of means for two normal distributions with different variances given samples from each. There exists an exact test which, ...

Let {u_n(x)} be a sequence of functions. If 1. u_n(x) can be written u_n(x)=a_nf_n(x), 2. suma_n is convergent, 3. f_n(x) is a monotonic decreasing sequence (i.e., ...

A robust estimation based on a rank test.

Hypothesis testing is the use of statistics to determine the probability that a given hypothesis is true. The usual process of hypothesis testing consists of four steps. 1. ...
