Abstract
A well-known issue in the practice of hypothesis testing is whether the formulation of the alternative should be “one-sided” or “two-sided”. One-sided alternatives occur quite generally in the comparison of treatments A and B if it is known a priori that A cannot be worse than B. Here a one-sided version of the two-sample t-test or the two-sample Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test is often applied. Such a test has the obvious advantage of being more powerful than its two-sided counterpart.
