Key Concepts

Confidence Intervals

Confidence intervals provide a range of values that are believed, with a certain level of confidence, to contain the true effect size. They offer a complementary perspective to p-values by highlighting the precision and uncertainty associated with an estimated effect.

Statistical Power

Statistical power is the probability that a study will detect an effect if there is, in fact, a true effect present. It depends on factors such as effect size, sample size, variability of the measurements, and the chosen significance level, and is critical for designing studies that can yield reliable conclusions.

Hypothesis Testing

Hypothesis testing is a framework used to assess whether observed data are consistent with a stated null hypothesis (typically, no effect) or whether they provide statistically significant evidence to support an alternative hypothesis. This process involves calculating test statistics and p-values.

Effect Size

Effect size is a statistical measure that describes the magnitude of the difference caused by the treatment compared to random variation or noise. It is essential in determining the practical or clinical relevance of a study's findings.

Treatment Effect

This concept refers to the true difference in outcome that is attributable to the intervention under study. It quantifies how much and in what direction the treatment changes the outcome measurement compared to a control or baseline condition.
