| Error of first kind | Statistics | If, as the result of a statistical test, a statistical hypothesis is rejected when it should be accepted, i. e. When it is true, then an error is committed. This class of error is termed an error of the first kind and is fundamental to the theory of testing statistical hypotheses associated with the names of Neyman and E. S. Pearson.
