Few students learn that some think the method they are being taught should be banned. \u003ci\u003eWise Use of Null Hypothesis Tests: A Practitioner's Handbook\u003c\/i\u003e follows one of the two methods that were combined: the approach championed by Ronald Fisher. Fisher's method is simple, intuitive, and immune to criticism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003eWise Use of Null Hypothesis Tests is also a user-friendly handbook meant for practitioners. Rather than overwhelming the reader with endless mathematical operations that are rarely performed by hand, the author of \u003ci\u003eWise Use of Null Hypothesis Tests\u003c\/i\u003e emphasizes concepts and reasoning. In \u003ci\u003eWise Use of Null Hypothesis Tests\u003c\/i\u003e, the author explains what is accomplished by testing null hypotheses--and what is not. The author explains the misconceptions that concern null hypothesis testing. He explains why confidence intervals show the results of null hypothesis tests, performed backwards. Most importantly, the author explains the Big Secret. Many--some say all--null hypotheses must be false. But authorities tell us we should test false null hypotheses anyway to determine the direction of a difference that we know must be there (a topic unrelated to so-called one-tailed tests). In \u003ci\u003eWise Use of Null Hypothesis Tests\u003c\/i\u003e, the author explains how to control how often we get the direction wrong (it is not half of alpha) and commit a Type III (or Type S) error.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frank S.
