Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

In the statistical parameter hypothesis testing,there exists a problem of how to choose null hypothesis in mutual opposed two possible hypotheses.And to the same sample information,there may be different conclusions of parameter tests because of different choices of zero hypothesis.This paper analyzes the problem appearing in the parameter significance testing based on different choice of null hypothesis and discusses the choice principles of null hypothesis.
