Document Summary

Given these population conditions, the test appears to be robust because actual alpha (507/10000=0. 0507) falls within a fairly stringent 10% of the desired nominal alpha (that is, between 0. 0450 and 0. 0550). Figure1 results for simulation of the monte carlo simulation(n=10,000 simulations) Given these conditions, actual alpha (588/10000=0. 0588) is inflated (using the fairly stringent criterion of bradley, 1978) because it is over 0. 055. Figure2 results for simulation of the monte carlo simulation(n=10,000 simulations) Given these population conditions, the test appears to be robust because actual alpha (512/10000=0. 0512) falls within a fairly stringent 10% of the desired nominal alpha (that is, between 0. 0450 and 0. 0550). Figure3 results for simulation of the monte carlo simulation(n=10,000 simulations) Given these conditions, actual alpha (2928/10000=0. 2928) is inflated (using the fairly stringent criterion of bradley, 1978) because it is over 0. 055. That is, it is more than 10% greater than the desired nominal alpha (0. 05).
