public enum class HypothesisType
|
| Member name | Value | Description |
|---|
| OneTailedLower | 1 |
The null hypothesis is rejected if the test statistic lies in the left (lower) tail of the test distribution.
|
| OneTailedUpper | 2 |
The null hypothesis is rejected if the test statistic lies in the right (upper) tail of the test distribution.
|
| TwoTailed | 4 |
The null hypothesis is rejected if the test statistic lies too far on either side of the mean of the test distribution.
|
This values in this enumeration specify
under what condition the null hypothesis should be rejected.
For some hypothesis tests like the one sample z and t test, the hypothesis type
can be chosen freely. Each value of the HypothesisType corresponds to a
different null hypothesis. For other tests, like a ChiSquareGoodnessOfFitTest,
only one value of the hypothesis type makes sense.
