Statisticians' and engineers' cross-reference of statistical terms
In-game article clicks load inline without leaving the challenge.
The following terms are used by electrical engineers in statistical signal processing studies instead of typical statistician's terms.
| Statistics | Electrical engineering |
|---|---|
| Null hypothesis | Noise only hypothesis |
| Alternative hypothesis | Signal + noise hypothesis |
| Critical region | Signal present decision region |
| Type I error | False alarm (FA) (noted as P F A {\displaystyle P_{FA}}) |
| Type II error | Miss |
In other engineering fields, particularly mechanical engineering, uncertainty analysis examines systematic and random components of variations in measurements associated with physical experiments.
