Hypothesis testing and magic

I have been reading all the back and forth about hypothesis testing with some degree of fascination. It's a topic of particular interest to me - I presented a paper called 'Hypothesis testing and the Westminster System' at the ISI conference in Helsinki last year. What I find fascinating is the w

Re: hyp testing and rho

I agree that rho=0 as typically used is silly. Well are you are arguing then for the Bayesian framework of getting a probability distribution on rho.?? dennis roberts wrote: > > At 11:58 AM 4/11/00 -0400, you wrote: > >at the bottom > > > > > >it would be easy to show whether rho is more likely

If the null hypothesis is H0: mu1-mu2=0 and the alternative is H1: mu1-mu2>0 What does the test say about mu1-mu2 if we reject H0 at level alpha(say at the magical 0.05)? Not much on its own. However, what if we plan a statistical experiment as follows: Given a desired power of 0.

Looking for a statistics software catalog that I used to get (Scientific Software?)

I used to receive a catalog (I believe it was called "Scientific Software" or "Scientific and Engineering Solutions" or something like that) that sold products such as Gauss, SAS, and MathCad. Is this catalog still available? Does anyone have their phone number? Do they have a web site? Thanks
