Small-Sample Accuracy of Approximate Distributions of Functions of Observed Probabilities from "t" Tests.

Becker, Betsy Jane

Journal of Educational Statistics, v16 n4 p345-69 Win 1991

The observed probability "p" is the social scientist's primary tool for evaluating the outcome of statistical hypothesis tests. The small-sample accuracy of nonnull asymptotic distributions of several functions of "p" was studied. Implications for use of the approximations are discussed. (SLD)
