Abstract
The conventional procedure for null hypothesis significance testing has lon
g been the target of appropriate criticism. A more reasonable alternative i
s proposed, one that not only avoids the unrealistic postulation of a null
hypothesis but also, for a given parametric difference and a given error pr
obability, is more likely to report the detection of that difference.
