Abstract:
As artificial intelligence (AI) advances, oncologists stand at the forefront of a transformative era in healthcare. AI, which empowers machines to learn from data, make decisions, and carry out tasks typically requiring human intelligence, is revolutionizing our clinical landscape. It promises streamlined workflows, enhanced diagnostic accuracy, and personalized treatments tailored to each patient's unique profile. In the vast sea of patient data, AI serves as a guiding compass, ensuring no detail is overlooked, amplifying clinical acumen, and refining treatment decisions. However, to ensure AI's benefits reach patients effectively, it is imperative that oncologists actively guide its development and application. This overview aims to equip oncologists with the tools to critically appraise and influence the trajectory of AI in oncology, ensuring its integration leads to meaningful advances in patient care.

Critical Region, Critical Values and Significance Level
In hypothesis testing, a sample statistic is converted to a test statistic using z, t, or chi-square distribution. A critical region is an area under the curve in probability distributions demarcated by the critical value. When the test statistic falls in this region, it suggests that the null hypothesis must be rejected. As this region contains all those values of the...
