flag_impl_significance

sets and gets default alpha (level) of any significance test

Calling Sequence

alpha = flag_impl_significance()
flag_impl_significance(alpha)
alpha = flag_impl_significance(alpha)

Parameters

alpha:

alpha-level for the significance test. Default is 0.01.

Description

The use of FLAG_IMPLICIT_SIGNIFICANCE is in experimental state. flag_impl_significance might even become obsolete.

FLAG_IMPLICIT_SIGNIFICANCE sets and gets default alpha (level) of any significance test The default alpha-level is stored in the global variable FLAG_implicit_significance The idea is that the significance must not be assigned explicitely. This might yield more readable code.

Choose alpha low enough, because in alpha*100// of the cases, you will reject the Null hypothesis just by change. For this reason, the default alpha is 0.01.
