Re: Who "invented" the null hypthesis?

Karl Ove Hufthammer skreiv:

See this article (it's much better than the same author's earlier article
on the same topic in American Statistician):

Author(s): Hubbard, R
Title: Blurring the distinctions between p's and alpha's in psychological
research
Source: THEORY & PSYCHOLOGY, 14 (3): 295-327 JUN 2004

I'll also recommend a few more papers dealing with P-values and
significance testing that you'll be glad to have read. :)

1. An Applied Statician's Creed
Marks R. Nester
Applied Statistics, Vol. 45, No. 4 (1996), pp. 401-410

2. The Insignificance of Statistical Significance
Johnson, Douglas H. 1999.
Testing.Journal of Wildlife Management 63(3):763-772.
Jamestown, ND: Northern Prairie Wildlife Research
Center Home Page.
http://www.npwrc.usgs.gov/resource/1999/statsig/statsig.htm

The paper's available on the Web page above. Johson even got an
award for this one. And he deserved it.

3. The Earth is Round (p < .05)
Cohen, Jacob. 1994.
American Psychologist 49(12):997-1003.

A classic and a must-read!

If you are hooked up to a University or research network, you may
have access to the articles through JSTOR "http://www.jstor.org/";.
