气候科学中的显著性检验

Significance Tests in Climate Science

Maarten H. P. Ambaum

摘要:

气候文献中的大部分论文都错误地使用了显著性检验。一个贝叶斯分析,突出的意义,显着性检验和为什么会发生典型的误用。它的结论是,显着性检验很少提供有用的定量信息。显著性统计量并不是一个量化的指标,用来衡量我们对给定结果的“真实性”有多有信心。

英文摘要:

A large fraction of papers in the climate literature includes erroneous uses of significance tests. A Bayesian analysis is presented to highlight the meaning of significance tests and why typical misuse occurs. It is concluded that a significance test very rarely provides useful quantitative information. The significance statistic is not a quantitative measure of how confident we can be of the 'reality' of a given result.
