Unexpectedly, the theoretically best reject-region of T-test is bounded.

For NHST vs , theoretically, is s.t. , rather than zero. Nevertheless, pratically a large t, rejecting both and , should not be counted as any evidence to retain or reject .
To verify the shape of --

x<- 0.1*(-1000:1000);
plot(x,y=dt(x-1,df=5,ncp=0)/dt(x,df=5,ncp=0),type="l");
###compare to the noncetrality case--
plot(x,y=dt(x,df=5,ncp=1)/dt(x,df=5,ncp=0),type="l",col='green');

It notes here that N-P approach does not utilize the information in the accurate p value. Actually, at the time N-P approach was firstly devised, the accurate p value was not available usually. Now almost all statistic softwares provide accurate p values and the N-P approach becomes obsolete. Wilkinson & APA TFSI (1999) [...]
