    My question is, what do I do if I want the power but at the same time don't know if my null hypothesis is true or not

    • @statquest
      @statquest  8 месяцев назад +1

      You never know about the null in advance. You just calculate power based on the assumptions that the two things are different and by so much. So, given those assumptions, you can calculate power. We then do the test and, if there is a difference, we should be able to detect it and reject the null.. If not, then we'll just fail to reject the null.

    • @noname-go2kt
      @noname-go2kt 8 месяцев назад

      @statquest I am sorry I don't understand what do you mean by the two things.For example at 4:25 you have said that the concept of power doesn't apply here since we know beforehand if our null hypothesis is correct or not.
      However what if I don't know,in short,is there any situation ever where I should not calculate power when doing hypothesis testing?
      Thanks a lot in advance

    • @statquest
      @statquest  8 месяцев назад +1

      @@noname-go2kt Yes, when we know that there is no difference, then Power does not apply. But we never know - otherwise we wouldn't bother doing the test to begin with. So we assume that there is a difference and carry on from there.
      In theory you should always do a power analysis if you have reason to believe you need to do a statistical test.

    • @statquest
      @statquest  9 месяцев назад +1

      When you know that you have two distributions to begin with, there's no point in even calculating the p-value to begin with. In other words, this is just an example. That being said, in practice, we never know, and if we do multiple tests, then we should correct for that with FDR or some other method.

    Beautiful explanation, Thanks a lot!
    There's only one thing that I still find confusing that is: if the two distributions highly overlap with each other, what prevents us from thinking that both come from the same distribution? I mean we are looking at the weights of the exact same species (mice) why did we have a priori assumption that the weights of those on the special diet are different from those on a normal diet?

    • @statquest
      @statquest  2 года назад +2

      If we have no reason to think that the mice come from two distributions, then we would not spend the time and money testing the hypothesis to begin with. So, in this case, we must know something about the diet - maybe one is very unhealthy, and the other one is very healthy - and this causes us to suspect that they might be from different distributions, and this then justifies spending the time and money doing the experiment and testing the hypothesis.

    How do you calculate the P value of something that isn't due to chance? I watched your video on calculating P values, the example was on coins. Tossing coins is purely by chance if the coin was fair. Since food and drug are not fair, they are rigged, ie, they have a purposeful effect, how do you calculate P value? What is the value for each step? You "How to calculate p-values" video listed 3 steps. What would be the value of step 1 and 2? Would you say "What are the chances of the weight being specifically a value" (say, 80.19 grams) or "What are the chances of the weight being above or below a certain value"? Because if that is the case, it would be 50% since, when there is a clear difference between the 2, one entire group would be more than your set value, and the other will be less, as your graph demonstrates. Ie if 3 out of 6 are above a certain value (normal diet) and 3 out of 6 are under that value, it would be 3/6 which is 50%.
    Then since the value can be set at anything, if I set it super low or super high so it includes all or neither of the two groups, such as "chances of a mouse being less than 0 grams" or "more than 100kg" then you can say 0 out of 6. How do you calculate the p value then?
    As always: I hate statistics and statistics make no sense.

    • @statquest
      @statquest  3 года назад

      Again, there is almost always variation in the data we collect. Some of that variation is due to things were are interested in, some of that variation is due to things were are not interested in. p-values help us filter out the variation we are not interested in.

      Power assumes that the null is not true and we should reject it, so the only alternative from correctly rejecting it is to not reject it.

    And at the time point of the video, 6:13, I think your conclusion was also reversed. If we get a P value less than 0.05, it is the case that we fail to reject the null hypothesis. We would accept it wrongly!

    • @statquest
      @statquest  Год назад

      No, we don't have to be sure that they are from a different distribution, we just assume that they are and we assume that the difference is some value and the variation is some other value. Then we then find the sample size that would give us confidence that, if those assumptions are reasonable, we will reject the null hypothesis.
