P-values are the fundamental tools used in most inferential data analyses
. They are possibly the most commonly reported statistics in medical literature. Unfortunately, p-values are subject to frequent misinterpretations.
In this webinar, we will review the interpretation of p-values and see an alternative approach based on Bayesian data analysis.
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.
