Abstract: Abstract Any activity that requires constant monitoring over time and the comparison of new values to “background” or “standard” values creates a decision problem: if the new values greatly exceed the background values, has a change really occurred, or have the true underlying concentrations stayed the same and this is just a “chance” event? Statistical tests are used as objective tools to decide whether a change has occurred (although the choice of Type I error level and acceptable power are subjective decisions; see Chapter 8: Hypothesis Tests and Statistical Models).
