Welcome to this guide on Type I and Type II errors, a key concept for CFA Level 1. What are these errors, and why do they matter in finance? Simply put, in hypothesis testing, these are the two ways we can make a wrong conclusion.
Before diving in, let's quickly remember the basics of hypothesis testing. We start with a Null Hypothesis, H₀, and an Alternative, H₁. Based on our data, we decide to either Reject H₀ or Do Not Reject H₀.
Now, let's visualize the possible outcomes using a decision table. This table shows our decision versus the true state of the world. If we decide to Reject H₀, but H₀ was actually TRUE, this is a Type I Error. If we decide to Do Not Reject H₀, but H₀ was actually FALSE, this is a Type II Error. The probability of making a Type I error is alpha, and the probability of making a Type II error is beta.
Let's use simple analogies. In a jury trial, our Null Hypothesis is that the defendant is innocent. A Type I Error would be convicting an innocent person - a false positive. A Type II Error would be freeing a guilty person - a false negative. In finance, when testing if the average return of an asset is zero, a Type I Error would be concluding the return is not zero when it actually is zero. A Type II Error would be concluding the return is zero when it actually is not zero.
Let's summarize the key points. Type I error is rejecting the null hypothesis when it's actually true - a false positive. Type II error is failing to reject the null hypothesis when it's false - a false negative. The decision table helps visualize these outcomes. Remember the trade-off: reducing the chance of one error typically increases the chance of the other. The probabilities are alpha for Type I and beta for Type II. Understanding these errors is crucial for interpreting hypothesis tests in finance. Good luck with your CFA studies!
