The following terms are used by electrical engineers in statistical signal processing studies instead of typical statistician's terms.
Statistics | Electrical engineering |
---|---|
Null hypothesis | Noise only hypothesis |
Alternative hypothesis | Signal + noise hypothesis |
Critical region | Signal present decision region |
Type I error | False alarm (FA) (noted as ) |
Type II error | Miss [1] |
In other engineering fields, particularly mechanical engineering, uncertainty analysis examines systematic and random components of variations in measurements associated with physical experiments.
