| Usually, in testing hypothesis a p_value is used for making decision. Would p_value be the best measure to accept or reject the null hypothesis? Would it be possible to have a better measure than the ordinary p_value? In this paper, hypothesis testing has been considered not as a choice to make decision but as an estimating problem to possible accuracy of a given set, labeled by Θ_0 and p_value would be used as an estimator to possible accuracy of Θ_0 Real numbers as a parametric space has been usually accepted by researcher although the parametric space has been limited in many of applications. A measure named as modified p_value which functions more better than usual p_value in bounded parametric space, would be introduced in normal distribution of one-side and two-side testing. |
