- Authors
Kuss, Oliver; Stang, Andreas
- Abstract
The author reflects on the study regarding the use of p-value as the result of a statistical test in medical research. They mention misconceptions regarding the correct meaning of the p-value, like p-value interpreting as the probability of the null hypothesis. They encourage researchers to use the confidential interval (CI) to describe the statistical variability of the findings or to a single p-value.
