About ASA’s Statement on p-Values

In March 2016, the American Statistical Association (ASA) published an important statement about p-value12. This statement was motivated by wrong usage and interpretation of p-value in scientific research.
Since I am passionate about this subject, I intend to write a few posts referring to some points of the ASA’s statement. You may find those posts with tag “p-value” (or “valeur-p” for the posts in french).
