Lecture 11: NHST Flashcards
1
Q
What is the curse of multiplicity?
A
The problem of a possible inflation in the false rejection error rate.
2
Q
What is the per comparison alpha value?
A
The value to be assigned to alpha for each NHST.
3
Q
What is the familtywise alpha value?
A
The value to be used to control the possible false rejection error over all NHSTs.
4
Q
What correction do we use to address the curse of multiplicity?
A
Bonferroni correction to the per comparison alpha value (familtywise alpha/k) is done to make it harder to be able to reject the null hypothesis in each individual NHST (the most conservative approach).
