- Nóta "In equivalence testing, the null hypothesis is formulated so that the statistical test is proof of similarity; it states that the groups differ by more than a tolerably small amount, Δ. The alternative hypothesis is that the groups differ by less than Δ∇ (they are similar). Thus, if one rejects the null hypothesis, one may correctly state that the groups are similar.See also difference test [ IATE:3541953 ]"
