Power in classical vs protected inference. The gray dashed lines represent the significance level α=0.05. (a) Classical inference involves testing the point null hypothesis that the effect size is 0. (b) Protected inference involves testing a null interval hypothesis. In this implementation of protected inference, the false positive error rate is controlled at the borders of the null interval. (c) In this alternative implementation of protected inference, the false positive error rate is fixed across the entire null interval.
