Statistical significance: A statistician's view
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 21 (2):206-207 (1998)
| Abstract | From a statistician's viewpoint, the concepts discussed by Chow relating to “statistical” significance bear little resemblance to the concept developed in statistics. Whether or not “statistical significance” has a place in psychological research is a decision for psychologists, not statisticians, to make, but the decision should be based on a less flawed version of what is being considered. | |||||||||
