ERROR OF THE THIRD KIND

Domain	Definition
Statistics	In 1947 F. N. David, perhaps not entirely seriously, suggested that there was a third kind of error which might be committed in testing statistical hypotheses:that of selecting the test falsely to suit the significance of the particular sample data available. A somewhat different type of error of the third kind was suggested by Mosteller(1948)in proposing a non-parametric test for deciding whether one population, out of k populations characterised by a location parameter, has shifted too far to the right of the others. He defines it as'the error of correctly rejecting the null hypothesis for the wrong reason'. Source: European Union. (references)
