Hi, Lorenzo,
The difference you ask about is quite involved with many nuances; many books & papers have been written about it. In a nutshell, though, the key difference is that
1. the N-P hypothesis test controls error rates (deductively, in the sense that the rates assume simple (point, rather than composite) null & alternative hypotheses, Ho & H1, respectively), &
2. the Fisherian significance test aims to provide evidence against Ho.
These 2 goals might seems similar, but in fact, the way they are worked out, the goals are almost always mutually exclusive.

Subject: Hypothesis testing: Neyman/Pearson-Fisher
Hello,
please forgive my english,
i'd like to know what is the difference between the study of hypothesis testing with the Neyman/Pearson approach and Fisher approach.
It's correct to say that the alternative hypothesis H1 is present also in the Fisher significativity analysis?
Thank you very much,
Lorenzo
