critical value

  • Critical values are used in hypothesis testing to delimitate two regions: one in which the analyst rejects the null hypothesis and another in which the hypothesis cannot be rejected. Therefore, critical values are closely linked to the concept of hypothesis testing. [Source: Encyclopedia of Epidemiology; Critical Value]
