one-tailed test

one-tailed test
a hypothesis test (q.v.) in which the critical region is one tail of the distribution of the test statistic and the null hypothesis is tested against a one-sided alternative that includes deviations from the null hypothesis only in one direction, deviations in the other direction being of no consequence.
