The report examined whether an insurance company that ran into trouble got a high rating by an agency, called a Type I error by statisticians.
42.
In this sense, even a test that does not provide Type I Error Rate protection, using multiple comparisons methods, is considered as post hoc analysis.
43.
Additionally, as with every statistical test, there is always the chance of having type I error and type II error in the McDonald Kreitman test.
44.
With statistical tests, we must strive more try to avoid making type I errors, to avoid rejecting the null hypothesis, when it is in fact, true.
45.
This quantity is a logarithmic measure of the probability that the given amplitude level is due to white noise, in the sense of a type I error.
46.
A large set of tests as described above greatly inflates the probability of type I error as all but the data most favorable to the hypothesis is discarded.
47.
If the null hypothesis is true, then as N increases, the distribution of-2 \ ln ( LR ) converges to that of type I errors ( false positives ).
48.
However, the McDonald Kreitman test is very vulnerable to type I error, because of the many factors that can lead to the accidental rejection of the true null hypothesis.
49.
Post hoc tests such as Tukey's range test most commonly compare every group mean with every other group mean and typically incorporate some method of controlling for Type I errors.
50.
While a miscarriage of justice is a Type I error for falsely identifying culpability, an error of impunity would be a Type II error of failing to find a culpable person guilty.
