Hypothesis TestinglegendofjunkenAugust 21 2005, 07:44:22 UTC
An important area of statistical inference involves using observed data to decide between competing explanations, or hypotheses, about the process under investigation.
Statisticians refer to this aspect of inference as "hypothesis testing."
Additionally, hypothesis tests can be either parametric or nonparametric.
