Without Bayesian thinking, quantities such as a p-value (P(data more impressive than mine if the null hypothesis is true)) are at most indirect measures of evidence. Frequentism deals with the probability of making an assertion and Bayes deals with the probability that a made assertion is true. hbiostat.org/bbr/md/alpha.html | |
