Jacksonian seizure: A form of epilepsy involving brief alteration in movement, sensation or nerve function caused by abnormal electrical activity in a localized area of the brain. Jacksonian seizures is a form of simple complex seizures in which the abnormal electrical activity is localized to one region in the brain. Seizures of this type typically cause no change in awareness or alertness. They are transient, fleeting, and ephemeral.
The hypothesis test for this type of data is called a ât-Testâ. A t-Test is commonly used to determine if two different data sets have a different average. In our example, we would like to know if the average ERA is different before and after the alleged drug use.
Hypothesis Testing and the Statistics T-Test. The t-test is probably the most commonly used Statistical Data Analysis procedure for hypothesis testing. Actually, there are several kinds of t-tests, but the most common is the two-sample t-test also known as the Student's t-test or the independent samples t-test. The two sample t-test simply tests whether or not two independent populations have different mean values on some measure. For example, we might have a research hypothesis that rich people have a different quality of life than poor people.
