P-Values ...... Again!

I've had posts about p-values in the past - e.g., see here, here, here, and here. Well, this pesky little devil is back in the news again. Every now and the the "p-value bashers" emerge from the swamp, and this past week it happened again - in Nature.

When I read this piece by Regina Nuzzo (and once the eye-rolling had subsided) I was very tempted to put together a post. I'm glad I didn't, because today Jeff Leek published a post on the Simply Statstics blog that is way, way better than anything I could have put together.

It's a must-read piece!
