removed. (December 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) In statistics, the term "error" arises in two ways. Firstly, it arises in the context of decision making, where the probability of error

may be considered as being the probability of making a wrong decision and which probability of error formula would have a different value for each type of error. Secondly, it arises in the context of statistical modelling (for example

regression) where the model's predicted value may be in error regarding the observed outcome and where the term probability of error may refer to the probabilities of various amounts of error occurring. Hypothesis testing[edit] In beta is the probability of hypothesis testing in statistics, two types of error are distinguished. Type I errors which consist of rejecting a null hypothesis that is true; this amounts to a false positive result. Type II errors which consist of failing to reject a null hypothesis that is false; this amounts to a false negative result. The probability of error is similarly distinguished. For a Type I error, it is shown as α (alpha) probability of error and bit error rate and is known as the size of the test and is 1 minus the specificity of the test. It should also be noted that α (alpha) is sometimes referred to as the confidence of the test, or the level of significance (LOS) of the test. For a Type II error, it is shown as β (beta) and is 1 minus the power or 1 minus the sensitivity of the test. Statistical and econometric modelling[edit] The fitting of many models in statistics and econometrics usually seeks to minimise the difference between observed and predicted or theoretical values. This difference is known as an error, though when observed it would be better described as a residual. The error is taken to be a random variable and as such has a probability distribution. Thus distribution can be used to calculate the probabilities of errors with values within any given range. This statistics-related article is a stub.

In an age of increasing specialism, it remains committed to publishing high quality articles from leading international scholars across the range of philosophical study. Accessibility of its content—for all philosophers including students—is also a priority. The Philosophical Quarterly regularly publishes articles, discussions, reviews, prize essays and special issues. Its distinguished international contributors engage with both the established and the new, for example, through reflection on cognitive psychology, the visual arts, and quantum physics. The Quarterly's outstanding book review section provides peer review comment on around one hundred of the most significant philosophical books each year. JSTOR provides a digital archive of the print version of The Philosophical Quarterly. The electronic version of The Philosophical Quarterly is available at http://www.interscience.wiley.com.
