Null Hypothesis Significance Testing
Meaning ⎊ A formal method for making statistical inferences by comparing observed data against a null hypothesis of no effect.
False Positives in Backtesting
Meaning ⎊ Erroneous results in simulations that suggest a strategy is profitable when it is actually not.
Type II Error
Meaning ⎊ The failure to reject a false null hypothesis, resulting in a missed opportunity to identify a valid market edge.
Significance Thresholds
Meaning ⎊ Predefined quantitative benchmarks used to distinguish statistically significant findings from random noise.
False Discovery Rate
Meaning ⎊ A statistical approach to control the proportion of false positives among all rejected null hypotheses.
Sample Size Sensitivity
Meaning ⎊ The impact of data quantity on the stability and statistical significance of financial model results.
Type I Error
Meaning ⎊ The incorrect rejection of a true null hypothesis leading to the false belief that a market edge exists.
