Approaches for Testing Hypotheses, me True Story of Fisher's Death and other Highlights

摘要

The May issue of TAS features a variety of articles that should be of interest to many statisticians. The General section opens with "Testing Fisher, Neyman, Pearson, and Bayes" by Ronald Christensen. This article provides a simple example to distinguish three approaches for testing hypotheses. There also has been interest recently in the phenomena of suppression variables in multiple regression. Lynne Friedman and Melanie Wall, in "Graphical Views of Suppression and Multicollinearity in Multiple Regression," summarize and give a historical perspective on this topic. In addition, this article provides an interesting graph that summarizes the relationship between correlations of predictor variables and the variation explained in the regression.
