Null and Alternative Hypotheses01:16

Null and Alternative Hypotheses

12.8K
The actual hypothesis testing begins by considering two hypotheses. They are termed  the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis. These hypotheses contain opposing viewpoints.
The null hypothesis, denoted by H0 is a statement of no difference between the variables—they are not related. This can often be considered the status quo. As  a result if you cannot accept the null, it requires some action.
The alternative hypothesis, denoted by H1 or Ha, is a claim about the...

Pharmacokinetic Models: Comparison and Selection Criterion

365
Physiological and compartmental models are valuable tools used in studying biological systems. These models rely on differential equations to maintain mass balance within the system, ensuring an accurate representation of the dynamic processes at play.
Physiological models take a detailed approach by considering specific molecular processes. They can predict drug distribution, metabolism, and elimination changes, providing a comprehensive understanding of how drugs interact with the body.

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

56.1K
According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Model Approaches for Pharmacokinetic Data: Physiological Models

279
Physiological models in pharmacokinetics are instrumental in understanding the distribution and elimination of drugs within the body. These models describe the drug concentration within target organs, influenced by factors such as drug uptake, tissue volume, and blood flow. Drug uptake is governed by the partition coefficient, which signifies the drug concentration ratio in tissue to that in the blood. The blood flow rate to a specific tissue is expressed as Qt, and the rate of change in tissue...

Model Approaches for Pharmacokinetic Data: Compartment Models

570
Compartmental analysis is a widely adopted approach to characterizing drug pharmacokinetics. It uses compartment models that conceptualize the body as a collection of reversibly communicating compartments, each representing a group of tissues exhibiting similar drug distribution characteristics. The movement rate of the drug between these compartments is typically described by first-order kinetics.
Two primary types of compartment models are recognized: mammillary and catenary. The more...

Multiple Comparison Tests01:13

Multiple Comparison Tests

4.5K
Multiple comparison test, abbreviated as MCT, is a post hoc analysis generally performed after comparing multiple samples with one or more tests. An MCT will help identify a significantly different sample among multiple samples or a factor among multiple factors.
It would be easy to compare two samples using a significance alpha level of 0.05. In other words, there is only one sample pair to be compared. However, it would be difficult to identify a significantly different sample if the number...

Area of Science:

  • Psychophysics
  • Social Sciences
  • Statistics

Background:

  • Formal statistical hypothesis testing is standard in social sciences but less common in psychophysics.
  • Psychophysical research often uses maximum-likelihood (ML) estimators, making traditional least-squares methods unsuitable for formal model comparison.
  • Current practices in psychophysics often rely on visual inspection of parameter estimates rather than rigorous statistical model comparison.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Introduce a new toolbox, Palamedes, for sophisticated statistical model comparisons in psychophysical research.
  • Provide researchers with tools to perform hypothesis testing using ML estimators.
  • Make advanced statistical methods accessible to researchers lacking extensive statistical or programming expertise.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a model-comparison approach to hypothesis testing within the Palamedes software.
  • Development of Matlab routines to facilitate statistical model comparisons for psychophysical data.
  • Discussion of the model-comparison methodology in a non-technical manner for broader understanding.

Main Results:

  • Palamedes enables flexible and sophisticated statistical model comparisons for psychophysical data.
  • The toolbox supports hypothesis testing using maximum-likelihood estimators.
  • The core principles of the model-comparison approach are generalizable beyond psychophysics.

Conclusions:

  • The Palamedes toolbox democratizes advanced statistical model comparison for psychophysical researchers.
  • This approach enhances the rigor of hypothesis testing in fields utilizing ML estimators.
  • The methodology and software support hypothesis-driven research across diverse scientific disciplines.
