10.9. Table of Crucial Error Rates

Table 10.6 shows how α* and β* depend on γ, α and β. Type I errors are more frequent early in the March of Science (low γ), whereas Type II errors are more frequent later in the March. Reducing either α or β reduces both α* and β*. Note also that when γ = 0.50 and α = β, then α =α* = β = β*.
