Abstract

Based on the most recent literature on statistical testing in public health, this paper introduces and discusses a new protocol, called NORD-h (null-optimal-risky-detrimental hypotheses), for interval hypothesis analysis using surprisals. In particular, the aim is to promote statistical and scientific reasoning in terms of costs, risks, and benefits for the stakeholders without falling into merely subjective choices. The authors are confident and hopeful that these novel interpretation methods can prevent common and highly damaging statistical fallacies like nullism and the adoption of dichotomic thresholds.
