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. When you conduct a piece of quantitative research, you are inevitably attempting to answer a research question or hypothesis that you have set. One method of evaluating this research question is via a process called hypothesis testing, which is sometimes also referred to as significance testing. Since there are many facets to hypothesis testing, we start with the example we refer to throughout this guide.
