Members
| Member | Description |
|---|---|
| TwoTailed |
The null hypothesis is rejected if the test statistic lies too far on either side of the mean of the test distribution.
|
| OneTailedLower |
The null hypothesis is rejected if the test statistic lies in the left (lower) tail of the test distribution.
|
| OneTailedUpper |
The null hypothesis is rejected if the test statistic lies in the right (upper) tail of the test distribution.

Remarks
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.
