Contribution to the discussion of '"A critical evaluation of the current p-value controversy"'

Stephen Senn. Biom J. 2017 Sep.

Abstract

I pick up a very few points of minor disagreement with Stefan Wellek's comprehensive review of P-values in this journal. I conclude that P-values have a limited function in statistical inference but can nevertheless have their uses.

Keywords: Bayesian statistics; Hypothesis test; Replication; Severity; Significance test.
