On Splitting the Tails Unequally: A New Perspective on One-versus Two-Tailed Tests
Braver, Sanford L.
Educational and Psychological Measurement, 35, 2, 283-301, Sum 75
The controversy regarding the admissibility of one-tailed tests of hypotheses was examined. Rather than taking a stand with regard to whether the one-or the two-tailed test is the most seriously flawed, a procedure is developed which can capitalize on the advantages of each. (RC)
