Hosta

The following terms are used by electrical engineers in statistical signal processing studies instead of typical statistician's terms.

Statistics	Electrical engineering
Null hypothesis	Noise only hypothesis
Alternative hypothesis	Signal + noise hypothesis
Critical region	Signal present decision region
Type I error	False alarm (FA) (noted as $P_{FA}$ )
Type II error	Miss ^[1]

In other engineering fields, particularly mechanical engineering, uncertainty analysis examines systematic and random components of variations in measurements associated with physical experiments.

Notes

^ The detection probability (noted as $P_{D}$ ) is frequently used instead of miss probability given by $1-P_{D}$
