On Statistical Significance Testing
Finn Lindgren highlighted some of the current arguments on statistical significance testing
In a reading/discussion group meeting, Finn Lindgren highlighted some of the current arguments about whether statistical significance testing as a method in scientific practice should be abolished, what might take its place, and some practical implications for undergraduate statistics teaching programmes.
Here are some materials on which the discussion was based:
