How do you find the statistically significant difference?
Look up the normal distribution in a statistics table. Statistics tables can be found online or in statistics textbooks. Find the value for the intersection of the correct degrees of freedom and alpha. If this value is less than or equal to the chi-square value, the data is statistically significant.
How do you know if a statistical result is significant?
Researchers use a test statistic known as the p-value to determine statistical significance: if the p-value falls below the significance level, then the result is statistically significant. The p-value must fall under the significance level for the results to at least be considered statistically significant.
How to calculate statistical significance in a T-table?
Finally, you’ll calculate the statistical significance using a t-table. Start by looking at the left side of your degrees of freedom and find your variance. Then, go upward to see the p-values. Compare the p-value to the significance level or rather, the alpha. Remember that a p-value less than 0.05 is considered statistically significant.
What does it mean when a result is not statistically significant?
If you determine that your p-value is above 0.05 or 5%, you’d end up with a result that is not statistically significant. This means that there’s a greater than 5% chance that the relationship between the two types of ads was left up to chance.
How to choose the best statistical significance test?
The focus of the selection and empirical evaluation of statistical hypothesis tests in the paper is that calibration of Type I error or false positives. That is, selecting a test that minimizes the case of suggesting a significant difference when no such difference exists. There are a number of important findings in this paper.
Can you test for statistical significance of multiple classifiers?
Yes you can apply statistical hypothesis testing. You evaluate each classifier with cross-validation (like you did) but instead store the (accuracy/other metric) of that classifier during each fold.
