Determination of optimal <i>α</i> from the <i>a priori</i> combined probabilities of Type I and Type II error.
<p><i>α</i> and <i>ω</i> (the average of Type I and Type II error) for independent, 2-tailed, 2-sample <i>t</i>-tests (n<sub>1</sub> = n<sub>2</sub>). Data are for 3 (dotted line), 10 (solid line), and 30 (double line) samples per group, with critical effect sizes of 1 SD of either group. Drop lines indicate the minimum average of Type I and Type II error and its associated value of <i>α</i>.</p
The non-linear relationship between <i>α</i> and <i>β</i>.
<p>The relationship between <i>α</i> and <i>β</i> for an independent 2-sample, 2-tailed <i>t</i>-test with n<sub>1</sub> = n<sub>2</sub> = 10, and critical effect size = 1 <i>σ</i>.</p
The average of the probabilities of Type I and Type II error, ω (a) and the cost-weighted probability of errors, ω<sub>c</sub> (b).
<p>The combined probabilities of Type I and Type II error, <i>ω</i> (a), and the cost-weighted probability of errors, <i>ω</i><sub>c</sub> (b). The <i>α</i> level at i) minimizes average error (assuming a Type I/Type II error cost ratio of 1), while the <i>α</i> level at ii) minimizes the cost-weighted probability of errors at a Type I/Type II error cost ratio of 4.</p
Probabilities of Type I (<i>α</i>), Type II (<i>β</i>) and average error (<i>ω</i>), with corresponding test conclusions for large, medium and small effect sizes (<i>δ</i>) using standard <i>α</i> levels and by setting <i>α</i> to minimize combined probabilities of Type I and Type II error.
