IMPORTANCE OF HYPOTHESES: GROUP COMPARISON ANALYSIS
提出一种衡量均值差异假设重要性的方法，基于备择和零假设模型下的总体预测不确定性，适用于灵活分析研究假设而非让假设适应方法。
Abstract A method is presented for measuring the importance of a mean‐difference hypothesis and for a set of such hypotheses. The method is based on the population prediction uncertainty associated with the models for the alternative and null hypotheses. Previous methods for ANOVA designs are special cases of the method presented here. The method is demonstrated showing its flexibility for the analysis of mean‐difference hypotheses. The method encourages tests of meaningful research hypotheses rather than fitting the hypotheses to the method.
