Despite their widespread use values have a striking and funda mental limitation 13 from a value alone it is difficult to quantify how confident one should be that a given SNP is truly associated with a phenotype Indeed the same value computed at di. Hypothesis. testing. The process of making judgments about a large group (population) on the basis of a small subset of that group (sample) is known as statistical inference.. Hypothesis testing, one of two fields in statistical inference, allows us to objectively assess the probability that statements about a population are true. . Gil . McVean.

Our goal is to assess the evidence provided by data from a sample about some claim concerning the population.. Remember: We are asking ourselves “What would happen if we repeated the sample or the experiment many times?”. What is hypothesis testing?. A statistical hypothesis is an assumption about a population parameter. This assumption may or may not be true. . The best way to determine whether a statistical hypothesis is true would be to examine the entire population. Since that is often impractical, researchers typically examine a random sample from the population. . A nuclear power plant adjacent to a residential area. STATISTICS FOR BUSINESS.
