	Statistical Power
		It should now be clear that the possibility of error is always present, and that the risk of Type I errors is not independent of the risk of Type II errors.
		Here I shall elaborate on Type I and Type II errors, and try to explain why power is a Good Thing in statistics, and why it is so elusive.
		In plain words this means that the odds of a Type I error (alpha) are quite independent from the odds of a Type II error (beta).

		In the mixture of Type I and II errors data pattern, the path coefficients for the simple main effects were set to zero and the path coefficient for the interaction term was set to 1.16 for only two of the latent dependent variables.
		Both univariate and multivariate Type I and Type II statistical errors associated with detecting model effects were evaluated by examining the proportion of p -values less than the traditional.05 level.
		For the Type II error conditions, the path coefficients for the simple main effects were set to zero and the path coefficient for the interaction term was set to 1.16 for each latent dependent variable.

		So you want to minimize Type II errors, and are not worried about Type I errors.
		In glaucoma case, Type I error (concluding someone has glaucoma when they don't) has a much smaller cost that a Type II error (concluding someone doesn't have glaucoma when they do).

		This is represented by the yellow/green area under the curve on the left and is a type II error.
		These questions can be understood by understanding the similarity of the American justice system to hypothesis testing in statistics and the two types of errors it can produce.
		In a sense, a type I error is twice as bad as a type II error.

	ECP - Primer on Type I and Type II Errors
		To avoid the error, some researchers perform a sample size calculation before beginning a study and, as part of the calculation, assert what a "true difference" is and accept that they will miss it 10% to 20% of the time (i.e., type II error rate of 0.1 or 0.2).
		Type II errors are generally the result of a researcher studying too few participants.
		Note that a type I error is only possible in a positive study, and a type II error is possible only in a negative study.

	Univariate Statistics - Decision Errors and Power
		Type II error (Beta) is the probability of failing to reject the null when the null is not true; it is the probability of failing to reject the null when you really should; ils the probability of saying there is no significant effect when there really is one.
		Cohen (the Statistical God of Power) generally recommends levels of at least.8 for power (therefore TYPE II is.2).
		Type I error (Alpha) is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when the null is true; it is the probability of rejecting the null when you should really have failed to reject (FTR); it's saying there is a significant effect when there truly is none.

		Type II Error, beta risk: false negative; Person A tests negative for drug use, but is in fact a substance abuser.
		Either type of error is bad, but researchers would perfer to commmit a Type II error over a Type I error (better to find nothing, even if there was something to find, than to shout "Eureka!" when one hasn't really found it).

	NUCLEAR COMMAND AND CONTROL
		Type —II error rate was accepted at 5% due to blindness of some sensors over certain areas of Arctic Ocean and also due to frequent downtime for maintenance.
		This translated to 0.0001 for Type — II Error rate.
		These errors are given certain probability within the operating process of the model, which in turn interact with the data provided by the sensors to reach an overall evaluation of a given situation.

	Type I & Type II Errors in Hypothesis Testing
		Clearly the probabilities for both Type I and Type II errors can't both be zero.
		In a statistical hypothesis testing experiment, a Type II error is committed by accepting the null hypothesis when it is false.

	Research Methods Type I and Type II Errors in AllPsych Online
		There are two types of error that researchers are concerned with: Type I and Type II.
		Lowering the amount of acceptable error, however, also increases the chances of a Type II error, which refers to the acceptance of the null hypothesis when in fact the alternative is true.
		A Type I error occurs when the results of research show that a difference exists but in reality there is no difference.

	Climate Change Science: Type I and Type II Errors
		Type II errors, on the other hand, are the least preferred type of error to commit because they turn the logic around.
		A Type II error in climate change thinking would occur when scientists assumed no relationship between anthropogenic GHG emissions and climate change exists, when in fact there is a relationship.
		A Type I error means that contrary to the hypothesis, anthropogenic GHG emissions are not the primary factor responsible for increasing temperatures around the world.

	Hypothesis Test
		For any given set of data, type I and type II errors are inversely related, that is, the smaller the risk of one, the higher the risk of the other.
		It is the probability of a type I error and is set by the investigator in relation to the consequences of such an error.
		If we do not reject the null hypothesis, it may still be false (a type II error) as the sample may not be big enough to identify the falseness of the null hypothesis (especially if the truth is very close to hypothesis).

	Drug Evaluations: Type I vs. Type II Errors
		Such Type II errors can result in the loss of significant benefits to society when the sale of drugs that are safe and effective is prohibited.
		The present drug approval system puts enormous stress on Type I errors and largely ignores Type II errors, thereby raising the cost of drug testing and delaying the availability of safe and effective drugs.
		Drug testing in the United States is currently biased toward the minimization of "Type I" error, that is, toward minimizing the chance of approving drugs that are unsafe or ineffective.

	New View of Statistics: Type I & II Errors
		New View of Statistics: Type I and II Errors
		When you are looking at lots of effects, the near equivalent of inflated Type II error is the increased chance that any one of the effects will be bigger than you think it could be (bigger than its upper confidence limit).
		The power of the study is sometimes referred to as 80% (or 90% for a Type II error rate of 10%).

	Hypothesis Testing
		Thus, the probability of correctly retaining a true null has the same relationship to Type I errors as the probability of correctly rejecting an untrue null does to Type II error.
		Recall also that we choose the probability of making a Type I error when we set Alpha and that if we decrease the probability of making a Type I error we increase the probability of making a Type II error.
		The lower our Alpha the less likely we are to make a Type I error, but the more likely we are to make a Type II error.

	Errors in Hypothesis Testing
		The probabilities of the two types of errors (I and II) are inversely related.
		This is called a Type II error and is made with probability ß.

		GUIDELINE 5-1-4A: When conducting multiple comparisons, appropriate procedures should be considered to control the level of Type I error for simultaneous inferences.
		If a statistically significant difference for a total group under study is observed, but similar subgroup differences of the same magnitude are associated with smaller sample sizes and/or larger standard errors and are not statistically significant, this may be noted.
		If the estimate is "unreliable," the reader may be informed that the standard error is so high that the observed large differences are not statistically significant.

	The Precautionary Principle in Environmental Science
		Should Type I and Type II error rates be set explicitly and a priori, depending on the purposes that the study is meant to serve?
		The Type II error, failing to detect something that actually does exist, is, by convention, often set at 20% (although practical limitations of sample size often result in a substantially higher or lower Type II error).
		Other types of evidence are used, and usually sufficient proof for action comes from the accumulation of plausible inference from independent lines of work.

		These are called, respectively, Type I and Type II errors (there's a third, more widely committed error, the "Type III error", which is forgetting which error is Type I and which is Type II).
		Assuming sound statistical techniques are being employed, the only way to simultaneously decrease the probability of both types of errors is to add more observations.
		But remember that most judicial reforms involve altering the ratio in one direction or another, not keeping one type of error constant while reducing the odds of the other--even though proposals are all too often cast in terms of the latter.
