Общий обзор

Большинство проверяемых гипотез сравнивают между собой группы объектов, которые испытывают влияние различных факторов.

Например, можно сравнить эффективность двух видов лечения, чтобы сократить 5-летнюю смертность от рака молочной железы. Для данного исхода (например, смерть) сравнение, представляющее интерес (напри­мер, различные показатели смертности через 5 лет), называют эффектом или, если уместно, эффектом лечения.

Нулевую гипотезу выражают как отсутствие эффекта (например 5-летняя смертность от рака мо­лочной железы одинаковая в двух группах, получаю­щих разное лечение); двусторонняя альтернативная гипотеза будет означать, что различие эффектов не равно нулю.

Критериальная проверка гипотезы дает возможность определить, достаточно ли аргументов, чтобы отвергнуть нулевую гипотезу. Можно принять только одно из двух решений:

1. отвергнуть нулевую гипотезу и принять альтер­нативную гипотезу
2. остаться в рамках нулевой гипотезы

Важно: В литературе достаточно часто встречается понятие «принять нулевую гипотезу». Хотелось бы внести ясность, что со статистической точки зрения принять нулевую гипотезу невозможно, т.к. нулевая гипотеза представляет собой достаточно строгое утверждение (например, средние значения в сравниваемых группах равны ).

Поэтому фразу о принятии нулевой гипотезы следует понимать как то, что мы просто остаемся в рамках гипотезы.

Принятие неправильного решения

Возможно неправильное решение, когда отвергают/не отвергают нулевую гипотезу, потому что есть только выборочная информация.

	Верная гипотеза
H0	H1
Результат  применения  критерия	H0	H0 верно принята	H0 неверно принята  (Ошибка второго рода)
H1	H0 неверно отвергнута  (Ошибка первого рода)	H0 верно отвергнута

Ошибка 1-го рода: нулевую гипотезу отвергают, когда она истинна, и делают вывод, что имеется эффект, когда в действительности его нет. Максимальный шанс (вероятность) допустить ошибку 1-го рода обозначается α (альфа). Это уровень значимости критерия; нулевую гипотезу отвергают, если наше значение p ниже уровня значимости, т. е., если p < α.

Следует принять решение относительно значения а прежде, чем будут собраны данные; обычно назначают условное значение 0,05, хотя можно выбрать более ограничивающее значение, например 0,01.

Шанс допустить ошибку 1-го рода никогда не превысит выбранного уровня значимости, скажем α = 0,05, так как нулевую гипотезу отвергают только тогда, когда p< 0,05. Если обнаружено, что p > 0,05, то нулевую гипотезу не отвергнут и, следовательно, не допустят ошибки 1-го рода.

Ошибка 2-го рода: не отвергают нулевую гипотезу, когда она ложна, и делают вывод, что нет эффекта, тогда как в действительности он существует. Шанс возникновения ошибки 2-го рода обозначается β (бета); а величина (1-β) называется мощностью критерия.

Следовательно, мощность — это вероятность отклонения нулевой гипотезы, когда она ложна, т.е. это шанс (обычно выраженный в процентах) обнаружить реальный эффект лечения в выборке данного объема как статистически значимый.

В идеале хотелось бы, чтобы мощность критерия составляла 100%; однако это невозможно, так как всегда остается шанс, хотя и незначительный, допустить ошибку 2-го рода.

К счастью, известно, какие факторы влияют на мощность и, таким образом, можно контролировать мощность критерия, рассматривая их.

Мощность и связанные факторы

Планируя исследование, необходимо знать мощность предложенного критерия. Очевидно, можно начинать исследование, если есть «хороший» шанс обнаружить уместный эффект, если таковой существует (под «хорошим» мы подразумеваем, что мощность должна быть по крайней мере 70-80%).

Этически безответственно начинать исследование, у которого, скажем, только 40% вероятности обнаружить реальный эффект лечения; это бесполезная трата времени и денежных средств.

Ряд факторов имеют прямое отношение к мощности критерия.

Объем выборки: мощность критерия увеличивается по мере увеличения объема выборки. Это означает, что у большей выборки больше возможностей, чем у незначительной, обнаружить важный эффект, если он существует.

Когда объем выборки небольшой, у критерия может быть недостаточно мощности, чтобы обнаружить отдельный эффект. Эти методы также можно использовать для оценки мощности критерия для точно установленного объема выборки.

Вариабельность наблюдений: мощность увеличивается по мере того, как вариабельность наблюдений уменьшается.

Интересующий исследователя эффект: мощность критерия больше для более высоких эффектов. Критерий проверки гипотез имеет больше шансов обнаружить значительный реальный эффект, чем незначительный.

Уровень значимости: мощность будет больше, если уровень значимости выше (это эквивалентно увеличению допущения ошибки 1-го рода, α, а допущение ошибки 2-го рода, β, уменьшается).

Таким образом, вероятнее всего, исследователь обнаружит реальный эффект, если на стадии планирования решит, что будет рассматривать значение р как значимое, если оно скорее будет меньше 0,05, чем меньше 0,01.

Обратите внимание, что проверка ДИ для интересующего эффекта указывает на то, была ли мощность адекватной. Большой доверительный интервал следует из небольшой выборки и/или набора данных с существенной вариабельностью и указывает на недостаточную мощность.

Проверка множественных гипотез

Часто нужно выполнить критериальную проверку значимости множественных гипотез на наборе данных с многими переменными или существует более двух видов лечения.

Ошибка 1-го рода драматически увеличивается по мере увеличения числа сравнений, что приводит к ложным выводам относительно гипотез. Следовательно, следует проверить только небольшое число гипотез, выбранных для достижения первоначальной цели исследования и точно установленных априорно.

Можно использовать какую-нибудь форму апостериорного уточнения значения р, принимая во внимание число выполненных проверок гипотез.

Например, при подходе Бонферрони (его часто считают довольно консервативным) умножают каждое значение р на число выполненных проверок; тогда любые решения относительно значимости будут основываться на этом уточненном значении р.

This article is about erroneous outcomes of statistical tests. For closely related concepts in binary classification and testing generally, see false positives and false negatives.

In statistical hypothesis testing, a type I error is the mistaken rejection of an actually true null hypothesis (also known as a «false positive» finding or conclusion; example: «an innocent person is convicted»), while a type II error is the failure to reject a null hypothesis that is actually false (also known as a «false negative» finding or conclusion; example: «a guilty person is not convicted»).^[1] Much of statistical theory revolves around the minimization of one or both of these errors, though the complete elimination of either is a statistical impossibility if the outcome is not determined by a known, observable causal process.
By selecting a low threshold (cut-off) value and modifying the alpha (α) level, the quality of the hypothesis test can be increased.^[2] The knowledge of type I errors and type II errors is widely used in medical science, biometrics and computer science.^{[clarification needed]}

Intuitively, type I errors can be thought of as errors of commission, i.e. the researcher unluckily concludes that something is the fact. For instance, consider a study where researchers compare a drug with a placebo. If the patients who are given the drug get better than the patients given the placebo by chance, it may appear that the drug is effective, but in fact the conclusion is incorrect.
In reverse, type II errors are errors of omission. In the example above, if the patients who got the drug did not get better at a higher rate than the ones who got the placebo, but this was a random fluke, that would be a type II error. The consequence of a type II error depends on the size and direction of the missed determination and the circumstances. An expensive cure for one in a million patients may be inconsequential even if it truly is a cure.

Definition[edit]

Statistical background[edit]

In statistical test theory, the notion of a statistical error is an integral part of hypothesis testing. The test goes about choosing about two competing propositions called null hypothesis, denoted by H₀ and alternative hypothesis, denoted by H₁. This is conceptually similar to the judgement in a court trial. The null hypothesis corresponds to the position of the defendant: just as he is presumed to be innocent until proven guilty, so is the null hypothesis presumed to be true until the data provide convincing evidence against it. The alternative hypothesis corresponds to the position against the defendant. Specifically, the null hypothesis also involves the absence of a difference or the absence of an association. Thus, the null hypothesis can never be that there is a difference or an association.

If the result of the test corresponds with reality, then a correct decision has been made. However, if the result of the test does not correspond with reality, then an error has occurred. There are two situations in which the decision is wrong. The null hypothesis may be true, whereas we reject H₀. On the other hand, the alternative hypothesis H₁ may be true, whereas we do not reject H₀. Two types of error are distinguished: type I error and type II error.^[3]

Type I error[edit]

The first kind of error is the mistaken rejection of a null hypothesis as the result of a test procedure. This kind of error is called a type I error (false positive) and is sometimes called an error of the first kind. In terms of the courtroom example, a type I error corresponds to convicting an innocent defendant.

Type II error[edit]

The second kind of error is the mistaken failure to reject the null hypothesis as the result of a test procedure. This sort of error is called a type II error (false negative) and is also referred to as an error of the second kind. In terms of the courtroom example, a type II error corresponds to acquitting a criminal.^[4]

Crossover error rate[edit]

The crossover error rate (CER) is the point at which type I errors and type II errors are equal. A system with a lower CER value provides more accuracy than a system with a higher CER value.

False positive and false negative[edit]

In terms of false positives and false negatives, a positive result corresponds to rejecting the null hypothesis, while a negative result corresponds to failing to reject the null hypothesis; «false» means the conclusion drawn is incorrect. Thus, a type I error is equivalent to a false positive, and a type II error is equivalent to a false negative.

Table of error types[edit]

Tabularised relations between truth/falseness of the null hypothesis and outcomes of the test:^[5]

Table of error types	Null hypothesis (H0) is
True	False
Decision about null hypothesis (H0)	Don’t reject	Correct inference (true negative) (probability = 1−α)	Type II error (false negative) (probability = β)
Reject	Type I error (false positive) (probability = α)	Correct inference (true positive) (probability = 1−β)

Error rate[edit]

A perfect test would have zero false positives and zero false negatives. However, statistical methods are probabilistic, and it cannot be known for certain whether statistical conclusions are correct. Whenever there is uncertainty, there is the possibility of making an error. Considering this nature of statistics science, all statistical hypothesis tests have a probability of making type I and type II errors.^[6]

• The type I error rate is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis given that it is true. The test is designed to keep the type I error rate below a prespecified bound called the significance level, usually denoted by the Greek letter α (alpha) and is also called the alpha level. Usually, the significance level is set to 0.05 (5%), implying that it is acceptable to have a 5% probability of incorrectly rejecting the true null hypothesis.^[7]
• The rate of the type II error is denoted by the Greek letter β (beta) and related to the power of a test, which equals 1−β.^[8]

These two types of error rates are traded off against each other: for any given sample set, the effort to reduce one type of error generally results in increasing the other type of error.^[9]

The quality of hypothesis test[edit]

The same idea can be expressed in terms of the rate of correct results and therefore used to minimize error rates and improve the quality of hypothesis test. To reduce the probability of committing a type I error, making the alpha value more stringent is quite simple and efficient. To decrease the probability of committing a type II error, which is closely associated with analyses’ power, either increasing the test’s sample size or relaxing the alpha level could increase the analyses’ power.^[10] A test statistic is robust if the type I error rate is controlled.

Varying different threshold (cut-off) value could also be used to make the test either more specific or more sensitive, which in turn elevates the test quality. For example, imagine a medical test, in which an experimenter might measure the concentration of a certain protein in the blood sample. The experimenter could adjust the threshold (black vertical line in the figure) and people would be diagnosed as having diseases if any number is detected above this certain threshold. According to the image, changing the threshold would result in changes in false positives and false negatives, corresponding to movement on the curve.^[11]

Example[edit]

Since in a real experiment it is impossible to avoid all type I and type II errors, it is important to consider the amount of risk one is willing to take to falsely reject H₀ or accept H₀. The solution to this question would be to report the p-value or significance level α of the statistic. For example, if the p-value of a test statistic result is estimated at 0.0596, then there is a probability of 5.96% that we falsely reject H₀. Or, if we say, the statistic is performed at level α, like 0.05, then we allow to falsely reject H₀ at 5%. A significance level α of 0.05 is relatively common, but there is no general rule that fits all scenarios.

Vehicle speed measuring[edit]

The speed limit of a freeway in the United States is 120 kilometers per hour. A device is set to measure the speed of passing vehicles. Suppose that the device will conduct three measurements of the speed of a passing vehicle, recording as a random sample X₁, X₂, X₃. The traffic police will or will not fine the drivers depending on the average speed . That is to say, the test statistic

In addition, we suppose that the measurements X₁, X₂, X₃ are modeled as normal distribution N(μ,4). Then, T should follow N(μ,4/3) and the parameter μ represents the true speed of passing vehicle. In this experiment, the null hypothesis H₀ and the alternative hypothesis H₁ should be

H₀: μ=120     against      H₁: μ₁>120.

If we perform the statistic level at α=0.05, then a critical value c should be calculated to solve

According to change-of-units rule for the normal distribution. Referring to Z-table, we can get

Here, the critical region. That is to say, if the recorded speed of a vehicle is greater than critical value 121.9, the driver will be fined. However, there are still 5% of the drivers are falsely fined since the recorded average speed is greater than 121.9 but the true speed does not pass 120, which we say, a type I error.

The type II error corresponds to the case that the true speed of a vehicle is over 120 kilometers per hour but the driver is not fined. For example, if the true speed of a vehicle μ=125, the probability that the driver is not fined can be calculated as

which means, if the true speed of a vehicle is 125, the driver has the probability of 0.36% to avoid the fine when the statistic is performed at level 125 since the recorded average speed is lower than 121.9. If the true speed is closer to 121.9 than 125, then the probability of avoiding the fine will also be higher.

The tradeoffs between type I error and type II error should also be considered. That is, in this case, if the traffic police do not want to falsely fine innocent drivers, the level α can be set to a smaller value, like 0.01. However, if that is the case, more drivers whose true speed is over 120 kilometers per hour, like 125, would be more likely to avoid the fine.

Etymology[edit]

In 1928, Jerzy Neyman (1894–1981) and Egon Pearson (1895–1980), both eminent statisticians, discussed the problems associated with «deciding whether or not a particular sample may be judged as likely to have been randomly drawn from a certain population»:^[12] and, as Florence Nightingale David remarked, «it is necessary to remember the adjective ‘random’ [in the term ‘random sample’] should apply to the method of drawing the sample and not to the sample itself».^[13]

They identified «two sources of error», namely:

(a) the error of rejecting a hypothesis that should have not been rejected, and

(b) the error of failing to reject a hypothesis that should have been rejected.

In 1930, they elaborated on these two sources of error, remarking that:

…in testing hypotheses two considerations must be kept in view, we must be able to reduce the chance of rejecting a true hypothesis to as low a value as desired; the test must be so devised that it will reject the hypothesis tested when it is likely to be false.

In 1933, they observed that these «problems are rarely presented in such a form that we can discriminate with certainty between the true and false hypothesis» . They also noted that, in deciding whether to fail to reject, or reject a particular hypothesis amongst a «set of alternative hypotheses», H₁, H₂…, it was easy to make an error:

…[and] these errors will be of two kinds:

(I) we reject H₀ [i.e., the hypothesis to be tested] when it is true,^[14]

(II) we fail to reject H₀ when some alternative hypothesis H_A or H₁ is true. (There are various notations for the alternative).

In all of the papers co-written by Neyman and Pearson the expression H₀ always signifies «the hypothesis to be tested».

In the same paper they call these two sources of error, errors of type I and errors of type II respectively.^[15]

[edit]

Null hypothesis[edit]

It is standard practice for statisticians to conduct tests in order to determine whether or not a «speculative hypothesis» concerning the observed phenomena of the world (or its inhabitants) can be supported. The results of such testing determine whether a particular set of results agrees reasonably (or does not agree) with the speculated hypothesis.

On the basis that it is always assumed, by statistical convention, that the speculated hypothesis is wrong, and the so-called «null hypothesis» that the observed phenomena simply occur by chance (and that, as a consequence, the speculated agent has no effect) – the test will determine whether this hypothesis is right or wrong. This is why the hypothesis under test is often called the null hypothesis (most likely, coined by Fisher (1935, p. 19)), because it is this hypothesis that is to be either nullified or not nullified by the test. When the null hypothesis is nullified, it is possible to conclude that data support the «alternative hypothesis» (which is the original speculated one).

The consistent application by statisticians of Neyman and Pearson’s convention of representing «the hypothesis to be tested» (or «the hypothesis to be nullified») with the expression H₀ has led to circumstances where many understand the term «the null hypothesis» as meaning «the nil hypothesis» – a statement that the results in question have arisen through chance. This is not necessarily the case – the key restriction, as per Fisher (1966), is that «the null hypothesis must be exact, that is free from vagueness and ambiguity, because it must supply the basis of the ‘problem of distribution,’ of which the test of significance is the solution.»^[16] As a consequence of this, in experimental science the null hypothesis is generally a statement that a particular treatment has no effect; in observational science, it is that there is no difference between the value of a particular measured variable, and that of an experimental prediction.^{[citation needed]}

Statistical significance[edit]

If the probability of obtaining a result as extreme as the one obtained, supposing that the null hypothesis were true, is lower than a pre-specified cut-off probability (for example, 5%), then the result is said to be statistically significant and the null hypothesis is rejected.

British statistician Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher (1890–1962) stressed that the «null hypothesis»:

… is never proved or established, but is possibly disproved, in the course of experimentation. Every experiment may be said to exist only in order to give the facts a chance of disproving the null hypothesis.

— Fisher, 1935, p.19

Application domains[edit]

Medicine[edit]

In the practice of medicine, the differences between the applications of screening and testing are considerable.

Medical screening[edit]

Screening involves relatively cheap tests that are given to large populations, none of whom manifest any clinical indication of disease (e.g., Pap smears).

Testing involves far more expensive, often invasive, procedures that are given only to those who manifest some clinical indication of disease, and are most often applied to confirm a suspected diagnosis.

For example, most states in the USA require newborns to be screened for phenylketonuria and hypothyroidism, among other congenital disorders.

Hypothesis: «The newborns have phenylketonuria and hypothyroidism»

Null Hypothesis (H₀): «The newborns do not have phenylketonuria and hypothyroidism»,

Type I error (false positive): The true fact is that the newborns do not have phenylketonuria and hypothyroidism but we consider they have the disorders according to the data.

Type II error (false negative): The true fact is that the newborns have phenylketonuria and hypothyroidism but we consider they do not have the disorders according to the data.

Although they display a high rate of false positives, the screening tests are considered valuable because they greatly increase the likelihood of detecting these disorders at a far earlier stage.

The simple blood tests used to screen possible blood donors for HIV and hepatitis have a significant rate of false positives; however, physicians use much more expensive and far more precise tests to determine whether a person is actually infected with either of these viruses.

Perhaps the most widely discussed false positives in medical screening come from the breast cancer screening procedure mammography. The US rate of false positive mammograms is up to 15%, the highest in world. One consequence of the high false positive rate in the US is that, in any 10-year period, half of the American women screened receive a false positive mammogram. False positive mammograms are costly, with over $100 million spent annually in the U.S. on follow-up testing and treatment. They also cause women unneeded anxiety. As a result of the high false positive rate in the US, as many as 90–95% of women who get a positive mammogram do not have the condition. The lowest rate in the world is in the Netherlands, 1%. The lowest rates are generally in Northern Europe where mammography films are read twice and a high threshold for additional testing is set (the high threshold decreases the power of the test).

The ideal population screening test would be cheap, easy to administer, and produce zero false-negatives, if possible. Such tests usually produce more false-positives, which can subsequently be sorted out by more sophisticated (and expensive) testing.

Medical testing[edit]

False negatives and false positives are significant issues in medical testing.

Hypothesis: «The patients have the specific disease».

Null hypothesis (H₀): «The patients do not have the specific disease».

Type I error (false positive): «The true fact is that the patients do not have a specific disease but the physicians judges the patients was ill according to the test reports».

False positives can also produce serious and counter-intuitive problems when the condition being searched for is rare, as in screening. If a test has a false positive rate of one in ten thousand, but only one in a million samples (or people) is a true positive, most of the positives detected by that test will be false. The probability that an observed positive result is a false positive may be calculated using Bayes’ theorem.

Type II error (false negative): «The true fact is that the disease is actually present but the test reports provide a falsely reassuring message to patients and physicians that the disease is absent».

False negatives produce serious and counter-intuitive problems, especially when the condition being searched for is common. If a test with a false negative rate of only 10% is used to test a population with a true occurrence rate of 70%, many of the negatives detected by the test will be false.

This sometimes leads to inappropriate or inadequate treatment of both the patient and their disease. A common example is relying on cardiac stress tests to detect coronary atherosclerosis, even though cardiac stress tests are known to only detect limitations of coronary artery blood flow due to advanced stenosis.

Biometrics[edit]

Biometric matching, such as for fingerprint recognition, facial recognition or iris recognition, is susceptible to type I and type II errors.

Hypothesis: «The input does not identify someone in the searched list of people»

Null hypothesis: «The input does identify someone in the searched list of people»

Type I error (false reject rate): «The true fact is that the person is someone in the searched list but the system concludes that the person is not according to the data».

Type II error (false match rate): «The true fact is that the person is not someone in the searched list but the system concludes that the person is someone whom we are looking for according to the data».

The probability of type I errors is called the «false reject rate» (FRR) or false non-match rate (FNMR), while the probability of type II errors is called the «false accept rate» (FAR) or false match rate (FMR).

If the system is designed to rarely match suspects then the probability of type II errors can be called the «false alarm rate». On the other hand, if the system is used for validation (and acceptance is the norm) then the FAR is a measure of system security, while the FRR measures user inconvenience level.

Security screening[edit]

False positives are routinely found every day in airport security screening, which are ultimately visual inspection systems. The installed security alarms are intended to prevent weapons being brought onto aircraft; yet they are often set to such high sensitivity that they alarm many times a day for minor items, such as keys, belt buckles, loose change, mobile phones, and tacks in shoes.

Here, the null hypothesis is that the item is not a weapon, while the alternative hypothesis is that the item is a weapon.

A type I error (false positive): «The true fact is that the item is not a weapon but the system still alarms».

Type II error (false negative) «The true fact is that the item is a weapon but the system keeps silent at this time».

The ratio of false positives (identifying an innocent traveler as a terrorist) to true positives (detecting a would-be terrorist) is, therefore, very high; and because almost every alarm is a false positive, the positive predictive value of these screening tests is very low.

The relative cost of false results determines the likelihood that test creators allow these events to occur. As the cost of a false negative in this scenario is extremely high (not detecting a bomb being brought onto a plane could result in hundreds of deaths) whilst the cost of a false positive is relatively low (a reasonably simple further inspection) the most appropriate test is one with a low statistical specificity but high statistical sensitivity (one that allows a high rate of false positives in return for minimal false negatives).

Computers[edit]

The notions of false positives and false negatives have a wide currency in the realm of computers and computer applications, including computer security, spam filtering, Malware, Optical character recognition and many others.

For example, in the case of spam filtering the hypothesis here is that the message is a spam.

Thus, null hypothesis: «The message is not a spam».

Type I error (false positive): «Spam filtering or spam blocking techniques wrongly classify a legitimate email message as spam and, as a result, interferes with its delivery».

While most anti-spam tactics can block or filter a high percentage of unwanted emails, doing so without creating significant false-positive results is a much more demanding task.

Type II error (false negative): «Spam email is not detected as spam, but is classified as non-spam». A low number of false negatives is an indicator of the efficiency of spam filtering.

Whenever there is uncertainty, there is the possibility of making an error. Considering this nature of statistics science, all statistical hypothesis tests have a probability of making type I and type II errors.^[6]

• The type I error rate is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis given that it is true. The test is designed to keep the type I error rate below a prespecified bound called the significance level, usually denoted by the Greek letter α (alpha) and is also called the alpha level. Usually, the significance level is set to 0.05 (5%), implying that it is acceptable to have a 5% probability of incorrectly rejecting the true null hypothesis.^[7]
• The rate of the type II error is denoted by the Greek letter β (beta) and related to the power of a test, which equals 1−β.^[8]

These two types of error rates are traded off against each other: for any given sample set, the effort to reduce one type of error generally results in increasing the other type of error.^[9]

The quality of hypothesis test[edit]

The same idea can be expressed in terms of the rate of correct results and therefore used to minimize error rates and improve the quality of hypothesis test. To reduce the probability of committing a type I error, making the alpha value more stringent is quite simple and efficient. To decrease the probability of committing a type II error, which is closely associated with analyses’ power, either increasing the test’s sample size or relaxing the alpha level could increase the analyses’ power.^[10] A test statistic is robust if the type I error rate is controlled.

Varying different threshold (cut-off) value could also be used to make the test either more specific or more sensitive, which in turn elevates the test quality. For example, imagine a medical test, in which an experimenter might measure the concentration of a certain protein in the blood sample. The experimenter could adjust the threshold (black vertical line in the figure) and people would be diagnosed as having diseases if any number is detected above this certain threshold. According to the image, changing the threshold would result in changes in false positives and false negatives, corresponding to movement on the curve.^[11]

Example[edit]

Since in a real experiment it is impossible to avoid all type I and type II errors, it is important to consider the amount of risk one is willing to take to falsely reject H₀ or accept H₀. The solution to this question would be to report the p-value or significance level α of the statistic. For example, if the p-value of a test statistic result is estimated at 0.0596, then there is a probability of 5.96% that we falsely reject H₀. Or, if we say, the statistic is performed at level α, like 0.05, then we allow to falsely reject H₀ at 5%. A significance level α of 0.05 is relatively common, but there is no general rule that fits all scenarios.

Vehicle speed measuring[edit]

The speed limit of a freeway in the United States is 120 kilometers per hour. A device is set to measure the speed of passing vehicles. Suppose that the device will conduct three measurements of the speed of a passing vehicle, recording as a random sample X₁, X₂, X₃. The traffic police will or will not fine the drivers depending on the average speed . That is to say, the test statistic

In addition, we suppose that the measurements X₁, X₂, X₃ are modeled as normal distribution N(μ,4). Then, T should follow N(μ,4/3) and the parameter μ represents the true speed of passing vehicle. In this experiment, the null hypothesis H₀ and the alternative hypothesis H₁ should be

H₀: μ=120     against      H₁: μ₁>120.

If we perform the statistic level at α=0.05, then a critical value c should be calculated to solve

According to change-of-units rule for the normal distribution. Referring to Z-table, we can get

Here, the critical region. That is to say, if the recorded speed of a vehicle is greater than critical value 121.9, the driver will be fined. However, there are still 5% of the drivers are falsely fined since the recorded average speed is greater than 121.9 but the true speed does not pass 120, which we say, a type I error.

The type II error corresponds to the case that the true speed of a vehicle is over 120 kilometers per hour but the driver is not fined. For example, if the true speed of a vehicle μ=125, the probability that the driver is not fined can be calculated as

which means, if the true speed of a vehicle is 125, the driver has the probability of 0.36% to avoid the fine when the statistic is performed at level 125 since the recorded average speed is lower than 121.9. If the true speed is closer to 121.9 than 125, then the probability of avoiding the fine will also be higher.

The tradeoffs between type I error and type II error should also be considered. That is, in this case, if the traffic police do not want to falsely fine innocent drivers, the level α can be set to a smaller value, like 0.01. However, if that is the case, more drivers whose true speed is over 120 kilometers per hour, like 125, would be more likely to avoid the fine.

Etymology[edit]

In 1928, Jerzy Neyman (1894–1981) and Egon Pearson (1895–1980), both eminent statisticians, discussed the problems associated with «deciding whether or not a particular sample may be judged as likely to have been randomly drawn from a certain population»:^[12] and, as Florence Nightingale David remarked, «it is necessary to remember the adjective ‘random’ [in the term ‘random sample’] should apply to the method of drawing the sample and not to the sample itself».^[13]

They identified «two sources of error», namely:

(a) the error of rejecting a hypothesis that should have not been rejected, and

(b) the error of failing to reject a hypothesis that should have been rejected.

In 1930, they elaborated on these two sources of error, remarking that:

…in testing hypotheses two considerations must be kept in view, we must be able to reduce the chance of rejecting a true hypothesis to as low a value as desired; the test must be so devised that it will reject the hypothesis tested when it is likely to be false.

In 1933, they observed that these «problems are rarely presented in such a form that we can discriminate with certainty between the true and false hypothesis» . They also noted that, in deciding whether to fail to reject, or reject a particular hypothesis amongst a «set of alternative hypotheses», H₁, H₂…, it was easy to make an error:

…[and] these errors will be of two kinds:

(I) we reject H₀ [i.e., the hypothesis to be tested] when it is true,^[14]

(II) we fail to reject H₀ when some alternative hypothesis H_A or H₁ is true. (There are various notations for the alternative).

In all of the papers co-written by Neyman and Pearson the expression H₀ always signifies «the hypothesis to be tested».

In the same paper they call these two sources of error, errors of type I and errors of type II respectively.^[15]

[edit]

Null hypothesis[edit]

It is standard practice for statisticians to conduct tests in order to determine whether or not a «speculative hypothesis» concerning the observed phenomena of the world (or its inhabitants) can be supported. The results of such testing determine whether a particular set of results agrees reasonably (or does not agree) with the speculated hypothesis.

On the basis that it is always assumed, by statistical convention, that the speculated hypothesis is wrong, and the so-called «null hypothesis» that the observed phenomena simply occur by chance (and that, as a consequence, the speculated agent has no effect) – the test will determine whether this hypothesis is right or wrong. This is why the hypothesis under test is often called the null hypothesis (most likely, coined by Fisher (1935, p. 19)), because it is this hypothesis that is to be either nullified or not nullified by the test. When the null hypothesis is nullified, it is possible to conclude that data support the «alternative hypothesis» (which is the original speculated one).

The consistent application by statisticians of Neyman and Pearson’s convention of representing «the hypothesis to be tested» (or «the hypothesis to be nullified») with the expression H₀ has led to circumstances where many understand the term «the null hypothesis» as meaning «the nil hypothesis» – a statement that the results in question have arisen through chance. This is not necessarily the case – the key restriction, as per Fisher (1966), is that «the null hypothesis must be exact, that is free from vagueness and ambiguity, because it must supply the basis of the ‘problem of distribution,’ of which the test of significance is the solution.»^[16] As a consequence of this, in experimental science the null hypothesis is generally a statement that a particular treatment has no effect; in observational science, it is that there is no difference between the value of a particular measured variable, and that of an experimental prediction.^{[citation needed]}

Statistical significance[edit]

If the probability of obtaining a result as extreme as the one obtained, supposing that the null hypothesis were true, is lower than a pre-specified cut-off probability (for example, 5%), then the result is said to be statistically significant and the null hypothesis is rejected.

British statistician Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher (1890–1962) stressed that the «null hypothesis»:

… is never proved or established, but is possibly disproved, in the course of experimentation. Every experiment may be said to exist only in order to give the facts a chance of disproving the null hypothesis.

— Fisher, 1935, p.19

Application domains[edit]

Medicine[edit]

In the practice of medicine, the differences between the applications of screening and testing are considerable.

Medical screening[edit]

Screening involves relatively cheap tests that are given to large populations, none of whom manifest any clinical indication of disease (e.g., Pap smears).

Testing involves far more expensive, often invasive, procedures that are given only to those who manifest some clinical indication of disease, and are most often applied to confirm a suspected diagnosis.

For example, most states in the USA require newborns to be screened for phenylketonuria and hypothyroidism, among other congenital disorders.

Hypothesis: «The newborns have phenylketonuria and hypothyroidism»

Null Hypothesis (H₀): «The newborns do not have phenylketonuria and hypothyroidism»,

Type I error (false positive): The true fact is that the newborns do not have phenylketonuria and hypothyroidism but we consider they have the disorders according to the data.

Type II error (false negative): The true fact is that the newborns have phenylketonuria and hypothyroidism but we consider they do not have the disorders according to the data.

Although they display a high rate of false positives, the screening tests are considered valuable because they greatly increase the likelihood of detecting these disorders at a far earlier stage.

The simple blood tests used to screen possible blood donors for HIV and hepatitis have a significant rate of false positives; however, physicians use much more expensive and far more precise tests to determine whether a person is actually infected with either of these viruses.

Perhaps the most widely discussed false positives in medical screening come from the breast cancer screening procedure mammography. The US rate of false positive mammograms is up to 15%, the highest in world. One consequence of the high false positive rate in the US is that, in any 10-year period, half of the American women screened receive a false positive mammogram. False positive mammograms are costly, with over $100 million spent annually in the U.S. on follow-up testing and treatment. They also cause women unneeded anxiety. As a result of the high false positive rate in the US, as many as 90–95% of women who get a positive mammogram do not have the condition. The lowest rate in the world is in the Netherlands, 1%. The lowest rates are generally in Northern Europe where mammography films are read twice and a high threshold for additional testing is set (the high threshold decreases the power of the test).

The ideal population screening test would be cheap, easy to administer, and produce zero false-negatives, if possible. Such tests usually produce more false-positives, which can subsequently be sorted out by more sophisticated (and expensive) testing.

Medical testing[edit]

False negatives and false positives are significant issues in medical testing.

Hypothesis: «The patients have the specific disease».

Null hypothesis (H₀): «The patients do not have the specific disease».

Type I error (false positive): «The true fact is that the patients do not have a specific disease but the physicians judges the patients was ill according to the test reports».

False positives can also produce serious and counter-intuitive problems when the condition being searched for is rare, as in screening. If a test has a false positive rate of one in ten thousand, but only one in a million samples (or people) is a true positive, most of the positives detected by that test will be false. The probability that an observed positive result is a false positive may be calculated using Bayes’ theorem.

Type II error (false negative): «The true fact is that the disease is actually present but the test reports provide a falsely reassuring message to patients and physicians that the disease is absent».

False negatives produce serious and counter-intuitive problems, especially when the condition being searched for is common. If a test with a false negative rate of only 10% is used to test a population with a true occurrence rate of 70%, many of the negatives detected by the test will be false.

This sometimes leads to inappropriate or inadequate treatment of both the patient and their disease. A common example is relying on cardiac stress tests to detect coronary atherosclerosis, even though cardiac stress tests are known to only detect limitations of coronary artery blood flow due to advanced stenosis.

Biometrics[edit]

Biometric matching, such as for fingerprint recognition, facial recognition or iris recognition, is susceptible to type I and type II errors.

Hypothesis: «The input does not identify someone in the searched list of people»

Null hypothesis: «The input does identify someone in the searched list of people»

Type I error (false reject rate): «The true fact is that the person is someone in the searched list but the system concludes that the person is not according to the data».

Type II error (false match rate): «The true fact is that the person is not someone in the searched list but the system concludes that the person is someone whom we are looking for according to the data».

The probability of type I errors is called the «false reject rate» (FRR) or false non-match rate (FNMR), while the probability of type II errors is called the «false accept rate» (FAR) or false match rate (FMR).

If the system is designed to rarely match suspects then the probability of type II errors can be called the «false alarm rate». On the other hand, if the system is used for validation (and acceptance is the norm) then the FAR is a measure of system security, while the FRR measures user inconvenience level.

Security screening[edit]

False positives are routinely found every day in airport security screening, which are ultimately visual inspection systems. The installed security alarms are intended to prevent weapons being brought onto aircraft; yet they are often set to such high sensitivity that they alarm many times a day for minor items, such as keys, belt buckles, loose change, mobile phones, and tacks in shoes.

Here, the null hypothesis is that the item is not a weapon, while the alternative hypothesis is that the item is a weapon.

A type I error (false positive): «The true fact is that the item is not a weapon but the system still alarms».

Type II error (false negative) «The true fact is that the item is a weapon but the system keeps silent at this time».

The ratio of false positives (identifying an innocent traveler as a terrorist) to true positives (detecting a would-be terrorist) is, therefore, very high; and because almost every alarm is a false positive, the positive predictive value of these screening tests is very low.

The relative cost of false results determines the likelihood that test creators allow these events to occur. As the cost of a false negative in this scenario is extremely high (not detecting a bomb being brought onto a plane could result in hundreds of deaths) whilst the cost of a false positive is relatively low (a reasonably simple further inspection) the most appropriate test is one with a low statistical specificity but high statistical sensitivity (one that allows a high rate of false positives in return for minimal false negatives).

Computers[edit]

The notions of false positives and false negatives have a wide currency in the realm of computers and computer applications, including computer security, spam filtering, Malware, Optical character recognition and many others.

For example, in the case of spam filtering the hypothesis here is that the message is a spam.

Thus, null hypothesis: «The message is not a spam».

Type I error (false positive): «Spam filtering or spam blocking techniques wrongly classify a legitimate email message as spam and, as a result, interferes with its delivery».

While most anti-spam tactics can block or filter a high percentage of unwanted emails, doing so without creating significant false-positive results is a much more demanding task.

Type II error (false negative): «Spam email is not detected as spam, but is classified as non-spam». A low number of false negatives is an indicator of the efficiency of spam filtering.

5.3. Ошибки первого и второго рода

Ошибка первого рода состоит в том, что гипотеза  будет отвергнута, хотя на самом деле она правильная. Вероятность

допустить такую ошибку называют уровнем значимости и обозначают буквой  («альфа»).  

Ошибка второго рода состоит в том, что гипотеза  будет принята, но на самом деле она неправильная. Вероятность

совершить эту ошибку обозначают буквой  («бета»). Значение  называют мощностью критерия – это вероятность отвержения неправильной

гипотезы.

В практических задачах, как правило, задают уровень значимости, наиболее часто выбирают значения .

И тут возникает мысль, что чем меньше «альфа», тем вроде бы лучше. Но это только вроде: при уменьшении

вероятности —

отвергнуть правильную гипотезу растёт вероятность  — принять неверную гипотезу (при прочих равных условиях).

Поэтому перед исследователем стоит задача грамотно подобрать соотношение вероятностей  и , при этом учитывается тяжесть последствий, которые

повлекут за собой та и другая ошибки.

Понятие ошибок 1-го и 2-го рода используется не только в статистике, и для лучшего понимания я приведу пару

нестатистических примеров.

Петя зарегистрировался в почтовике. По умолчанию,  – он считается добропорядочным пользователем. Так считает антиспам

фильтр. И вот Петя отправляет письмо. В большинстве случаев всё произойдёт, как должно произойти – нормальное письмо дойдёт до

адресата (правильное принятие нулевой гипотезы), а спамное – попадёт в спам (правильное отвержение). Однако фильтр может

совершить ошибку двух типов:

1) с вероятностью  ошибочно отклонить нулевую гипотезу (счесть нормальное письмо

за спам и Петю за спаммера) или
2) с вероятностью  ошибочно принять нулевую гипотезу (хотя Петя редиска).

Какая ошибка более «тяжелая»? Петино письмо может быть ОЧЕНЬ важным для адресата, и поэтому при настройке фильтра

целесообразно уменьшить уровень значимости , «пожертвовав» вероятностью  (увеличив её). В результате в основной ящик будут попадать все

«подозрительные» письма, в том числе особо талантливых спаммеров. …Такое и почитать даже можно, ведь сделано с любовью

Существует примеры, где наоборот – более тяжкие последствия влечёт ошибка 2-го рода, и вероятность  следует увеличить (в пользу уменьшения

вероятности ). Не хотел я

приводить подобные примеры, и даже отшутился на сайте, но по какой-то мистике через пару месяцев сам столкнулся с непростой

дилеммой. Видимо, таки, надо рассказать:

У человека появилась серьёзная болячка. В медицинской практике её принято лечить (основное «нулевое» решение). Лечение

достаточно эффективно, однако не гарантирует результата и более того опасно (иногда приводит к серьёзному пожизненному

увечью). С другой стороны, если не лечить, то возможны осложнения и долговременные функциональные нарушения.

Вопрос: что делать? И ответ не так-то прост – в разных ситуациях разные люди могут принять разные

решения (упаси вас).

Если болезнь не особо «мешает жить», то более тяжёлые последствия повлечёт ошибка 2-го рода – когда человек соглашается

на лечение, но получает фатальный результат (принимает, как оказалось, неверное «нулевое» решение). Если же…, нет, пожалуй,

достаточно, возвращаемся к теме:

Г – грамматическая ошибка

Это ошибки в образовании и употреблении формы слова, т.е. сочетаемости в грамматических формах (Морфология)

бессмертность, заместо, англичаны, на мосте, Гринев жил недорослью, Он не боялся опасностей и рисков, Во дворе построили большую качель, Один брат был богатей другого, Эта книга более интереснее, Я пошел к ему, ихний дом, Он ни разу не ошибился, Мама всегда радовается гостям, Вышев на середину комнаты, он заговорил, В дальнем углу сидел улыбающий ребенок, Мы ставим елку на середину комнаты и украшиваем ее.

Это употребление не соответвующих смыслу слов или форм слова (Лексика) Здесь и непонимание значения слова, тавтология, неправильное употребление синонимов, омонимов, паронимов и т.д.С – стилистическая ошибка

Это ошибки в употреблении стилистически окрашенных слов в инородном стиле. Единство стиля – важная компонента любой работы. (Лексика и Развитие речи). Как правило, ученики используют сниженную лексику: разговорные, жаргонные слова, просторечную лексику.

Попечитель богоугодных заведений подлизывается к ревизору (Попечитель богоугодных заведений заискивает перед ревизором). В этом эпизоде главный герой накосячил. (В этом эпизоде главный герой допустил просчет / совершил ошибку).

Стилистический и смысловой разнобой между частями предложения:

Рыжий, толстый, здоровый, с лоснящимся лицом, певец Таманьо привлекал Серова как личность огромной внутренней энергии. – Огромная внутренняя энергия, которой привлекал Серова певец Таманьо, сказывалась и в его внешности: массивный, с буйной рыжей шевелюрой, с брызжущим здоровьем лицом.

Л – логическая ошибка

Это ошибки логического построения текста. Среди них наиболее часто встечающаяся – отсутствие причинно-следственной связи:

Обломов воспитывался в деревне, поэтому ничего не умел делать сам.

К логическим ошибкам также следует отнести порядок слов в предложении, ведущий к искажению смысла:

Есть немало произведений, повествующих о детстве автора, в мировой литературе. – В мировой литературе есть немало произведений, повествующих о детстве автора.

Ф – фактическая ошибка

Это ошибки смысловые, искажение исходного содержания текста (в сочинении и изложении) (Развитие речи)

Z – нарушение абзацного члененияТекст неверно разделен на микротемы, абзацы (Синтаксис и Развитие речи)

Отдельным видом ошибок следует, пожалуй, выделить бедность и однообразие используемых синтаксических конструкций.

Мужчина был одет в прожженный ватник. Он был грубо заштопан. Сапоги были почти новые. Носки изъедены молью. – Мужчина был одет в грубо заштопанный прожженный ватник, хотя сапоги были почти новые, носки оказались изъедены молью.
