In a field if statistics what is used to predict or test hypothesis?

1 Answer

Answer :

A statistical model is fitted to the data. The extent to which the model describes the data can be tested using standard tests - including non-parametric ones. If the model is a good fit then it can be used to make predictions.A hypothesis is tested using a statistic which will be different under the hypothesis being tested and its alternative(s). The procedure is to find the probability distribution of the test statistic under the assumption that the hypothesis being tested is true and then to determine the probability of observing a value at least as extreme as that actually observed.
