The (Practical) Importance of SE Experiments

Abstract

Much experimental SE research involves testing a hypothesis regarding a relationship or difference between two variables. Typically, a null hypothesis (H0) of a zero correlation or no difference between the means of the two populations is posited. The standard way of reporting results from such statistical hypothesis testing is by presenting p-values or information about the rejection or acceptance of H0.
