Problems with p-values

[lifelonglearner]

Link post

I’m taking a really cool course right now on statistics education, which covers:

• replication

• p-values being bad

• bayesian statistics

• meta-analyses

A lot of our readings are really fun, and I’ll likely write more posts based on them, maybe into a “why social science studies are bad” sequence.

Anyway, this is the first entry that goes over into misinterpretations and issues with p-values and null hypothesis significance testing.
