Clarified question.

| Nov 10, 2011 at 21:34 | comment | added | whuber♦ | OK, that helps. But to answer, wouldn't we need to know what "people assume/talk"? For most of us, tests do exactly what our textbooks and journal articles say they do, so there doesn't seem to be any reasonable way to reply. | |
| Nov 10, 2011 at 21:21 | comment | added | Dan Lurie | Sorry, do let me clarify. While the other question seems to focus on NHST doing things apparently backwards, I'm specifically interested in what the statistical tests are actually doing vs. what people assume/talk about them doing. Admittedly, it's a subtle distinction, but one that isn't addressed in the other question. | |
| Nov 10, 2011 at 20:59 | comment | added | whuber♦ | Perhaps you could clarify that distinction, Dan. The present wording seems to focus the interest in the logic. | |
| Nov 10, 2011 at 20:15 | comment | added | Dan Lurie | As I see it, that question is more asking about the logic of NHST in general, while I'm asking about the assumptions made within the accepted framework of NHST. | |
