mergeto Type I and type II errors discuss Talk False positive rate date July 2011 When performing multiple comparisons in a statistics statistical analysis, the false positive rate is the probability of falsely rejecting the null hypothesis for a particular hypothesis test test among all the tests performed. If the false positive rate is a constant &alpha for all tests performed, it can also be interpreted as the expected proportion among all tests performed that are false positives also known as type 1 error s . In the setting of analysis of variance ANOVA , the false positive rate is referred to as the comparisonwise error rate or pairwise error rate . When three or more treatments are studied in parallel, a comparison can be made for each pair of treatments to assess whether one of the treatments is superior to the other. For example, if three treatments are studied, there are three pairwise comparisons among them. The false positive rate is very different from the familywise error rate , which is the probability that at least one of the tests that are performed results in a type I error. As the number of tests grows, the familywise error rate generally tends to 1 even while the false positive rate remains fixed. statistics stub Category Multiple comparisons Category Statistical tests Category Analysis of variance ... more details

The discovery of false brinelling is unclear but one story describes how, in the 1930s ...Unreferenced date November 2008 File FB geschaedigtes Lager.jpg thumb False Brinelling of a bearing False brinelling is damage caused by fretting , with or without corrosion , that causes imprints that look similar to brinelling , but are caused by a different mechanism. Brinell damage is characterized by permanent material deformation without loss of material and occurs during one load event, whereas false brinelling is characterized by material wear or removal and occurs over an extended time from vibration and light loads. The basic cause of false brinelling is that the design of the bearing does not have a method for redistribution of lubricant without large rotational movement of all bearing surfaces in the raceway. Lubricant is pushed out of a loaded region during small oscillatory movements and vibration where the bearings surfaces repeatedly do not move very far. Without lubricant, wear is increased when the small oscillatory movements occur again. It is possible for the resulting wear debris to oxidize and form an abrasive compound which further accelerates wear.

A false etymology pseudoetymology , paraetymology or paretymology is a popularly held but false belief about the origins of specific words, especially where these originate in common sense assumptions rather than serious research. Such etymology etymologies often have the feel of urban legend s, and can be much more colorful than the typical etymologies found in dictionaries, often involving stories of unusual practices in particular subcultures e.g. Oxford students from non noble families being forced to write sine nobilis by their name, soon abbreviated to s.nob. , hence the word Wikt snob snob . Citation needed date March 2011 Many recent examples are based on acronym s or backronym s . Citation needed date March 2011 Source and influence of false etymologies Erroneous etymologies can exist for many reasons. Some are reasonable interpretations of the evidence that happen to be false. For a given word there may often have been many serious attempts by scholars to propose etymologies based on the best information available at the time, and these can be later modified or rejected as linguistic scholarship advances.
