Member Training: Moving to a World Beyond p<0.05

by TAF Support

Stage 1

For nearly a hundred years the concept of “statistical significance” has been fundamental to statistics and to science. And for nearly that long, it has been controversial and misused as well.

Calling upon what they learned from editing the 43 articles in the special issue of The American Statistician on “Statistical Inference in the 21st Century: A World Beyond P < 0.05,” as well as from many discussions since, the presenters explain the problems associated with the use of statistical significance and offer alternatives.

The presentation is largely but not entirely non-technical. In this training, participants can expect to (1) learn about the use and misuse of p-values and statistical significance, (2) see why change is needed but why the change is difficult, and (3) be exposed to other ways of addressing inference in a world beyond p<0.05.


Note: This training is an exclusive benefit to members of the Statistically Speaking Membership Program and part of the Stat’s Amore Trainings Series. Each Stat’s Amore Training is approximately 90 minutes long.
