  1. Alright, future engineers!
    **Type I Error (alpha):** Rejecting a true null hypothesis (a false positive).
    Ex: Concluding a new material is unsafe when it actually meets specs.
    Pro-Tip: Balancing Type I (alpha) and Type II (beta) errors is crucial in your design & testing decisions!

  2. Alright, future engineers!
    **P-value** is the probability of observing results as extreme as yours *if the null hypothesis is true*.
    Ex: If P < 0.05, we often reject the null.
    Pro-Tip: A low P-value means strong evidence *against* the null, not that it's impossible!

  3. P-value: Probability of observing data as extreme as yours, *if* the null hypothesis were true. Ex: p=0.01 means a 1% chance. Pro-Tip: A small p-value (<0.05) often means you can reject the null hypothesis & your finding is significant!

  4. What is the chance that: if I repeat an experiment (that has a statistically significant result), the repeated experiment also has a significant result in the same direction?

    This paper carefully constructs a relationship between p-values and #replication probability for binary classification.

  5. I’ve just released a new YouTube video on how to perform an analysis of variance (ANOVA) using the R programming language.

    This video is also a preview of the upcoming Statistics Globe online course, "Statistical Methods in R," which starts on September 9.

    Want to give some thoughts upon a recent tweet by Matt Dillahunty on whether Atheism is the Null Hypothesis,

  7. Exploratory hypothesis testing:

    Nice to see that our article “Exploratory hypothesis tests can be more compelling than confirmatory hypothesis tests” (doi.org/10.1080/09515089.2022.), which was published 4 months ago, is the most read article in @PhilosophicalPsychology in the last 12 months: tandfonline.com/action/showMos
