Abstract in brief

  • Making binary decisions is essential in data analysis, particularly distinguishing between hypothesis testing and binary classification methods.
  • Choosing between these two strategies can be confusing for analysts, so the text outlines key differences across three main aspects.
  • Five practical guidelines are provided to help analysts select the appropriate strategy, with an application example related to cancer driver gene prediction.
