português term

teste de log-rank estratificado com error de tipo-1 unilateral i = 0,025

português para inglês Medicina Medicina: farmacêutica Statistical tests
From Methods and Data Analysis section of Ethics Committee decision (describing statistics used to analyze clinical trial data) in Brazil

Full sentence:
Pelo menos XXX eventos são necessários para garantir um poder de 90% de detecção da diferença na SG pelo teste de log-rank estratificado com erro do tipo-1 unilateral i = 0,025, e taxa de risco real subjacente de 0,65.

I know that this is "stratified log-rank test" and "type I error", but what does "unilateral" (one-sided) modify?

I think the "i" is a typo, and should probably be "p".

Thanks for any help you can offer! I would also appreciate any references to basic statistics textbooks that might help.

Various terms Mario, I see your point about the different terms in this question. I thought about posting them all separately, but then the question wouldn't have made much sense.
Roxane Dow (asker) Apr 25, 2017:
Thank you, Gilmar! Gilmar, thank you for alerting me about my other ungraded questions. ProZ was not sending me any notices, so I assumed that they had not been answered.
Roxane Dow (asker) Apr 25, 2017:
Thank you, Paulo! Paulo, thank you for your suggestion; this is the translation I used in the end. Would you like to enter it as an answer so that you can get the point?
i is NOT a p-value. You cannot calculate a p-value without actual data, which you don't have at this point.

One-sided refers to the statistic's distribution. Every statistical test is associated with a distribution that is used to calculate significance and error. As this sentence focuses on the error rate, I would write "stratified log-rank test with one-sided type-I error rate i = 0.025"

@ Roxane How about closing your questions here in KudoZ ?

one-sided stratified log-rank test at a type I error rate of i = 0.025

As used in the following document:

I think this i can be an error as well; have you looked at the rest of the document?

Also, I believe one-sided modifies the test. At least this is the way see it written most often in the protocols I translate from English into Portuguese.

One-sided vs. two-sided tests:
