HypothesisType Enumeration

Enumerates the possible values for a hypothesis test.

Definition

Namespace: Numerics.NET.Statistics.Tests
Assembly: Numerics.NET (in Numerics.NET.dll) Version: 9.0.4
C# 
public enum HypothesisType

Remarks

This values in this enumeration specify under what condition the null hypothesis should be rejected.

For some hypothesis tests like the one sample z and t test, the hypothesis type can be chosen freely. Each value of the HypothesisType corresponds to a different null hypothesis. For other tests, like a ChiSquareGoodnessOfFitTest, only one value of the hypothesis type makes sense.

Members

Default0 The hypothesis type is the standard type for the hypothesis test.
OneTailedLower1 The null hypothesis is rejected if the test statistic lies in the left (lower) tail of the test distribution.
OneTailedUpper2 The null hypothesis is rejected if the test statistic lies in the right (upper) tail of the test distribution.
TwoTailed4 The null hypothesis is rejected if the test statistic lies too far on either side of the mean of the test distribution.
