Definitions

Superiority is a type of comparative intent. When the aim of the study is to show that an experimental (E) treatment is superior to a control (C) treatment, the RCT is called a superiority trial and the associated statistical test is a superiority test. With a significant result, one concludes in a superiority trial that E is different in effect from C, and when the observed result is in favor of E, we conclude that E is statistically, significantly better performing than C.
