The discussions reflect strong support for moving beyond p-values, with posts highlighting confidence intervals and Bayesian approaches as promising alternatives, and some warning about p-hacking, reflecting high engagement. The tone is serious and analytical, emphasizing the importance of statistical reform, which aligns with the article's call for methodological change.
AgreementModerate agreement
Most discussions acknowledge the limitations of p-values and support exploring alternative statistical methods, indicating general agreement with the article's premise.
InterestHigh interest
Many posts express high interest, especially with mentions of alternative approaches like confidence intervals, Bayesian methods, and the impact on scientific rigor.
EngagementHigh engagement
Posts show deep engagement through detailed references to statistical concepts, mentions of the ASA statements, and debates about the future of research methodology.
ImpactModerate impact
The discussions suggest a potential paradigm shift, but the overall influence on scientific practice is still evolving, hence a moderate impact score.
Abstract in brief
The article explains that the traditional reliance on p-values in biological research is outdated and suggests four alternative statistical methods to better analyze data.
These alternatives include assessing the confidence in p-values, focusing on effect sizes with confidence intervals, using Bayes factors to compare hypotheses, and applying Akaike Information Criteria for model selection.
Overall, the article encourages biologists to adopt these approaches to improve their data interpretation beyond what p-values can offer alone.]
Finally found time for this @RSocPublishing review by @lewis_halsey. It should be recommended reading for anyone starting a PhD that will involve statistical testing - gives a balanced view of alternative approaches without loads of stats details.

This video explains the common misuses of p-values in statistics, emphasizing the importance of comparison probabilities and prior knowledge for accurate data interpretation. Practical insights are provided to improve…
@BlakeLaPierre “Scientists don’t use the obscure statistical value that I think they should use, even though it is relevant to their field therefore all climate science is wrong”
You sound like a toddler.
Here is the Royal Societies take on p value in biology.
https://t.co/37wzLYMQEg.
@d_a_keldsen @brianlilley They seem to have no clue that statistical significance can be changed easily.
P value is not as important as everyone thinks if you can change it at will, and alter results
https://t.co/FXvQAcJka7
@Our_Levodopa I have always been uncomfortable about p-values, and especially the number 0.05. But, it seems as long as it is the standard, papers expect you to report it. However, there is a debate, and who said scientists don't resist suggestions for change? https://t.co/UJxVTm9BFt
Intervallo di confidenza che è decisamente preferibile al p value sovente usato in tanti papers e il motivo è oramai noto, qui uno studio a caso ma ne trovi molti...la significatività statistica é argomento complesso...e spesso manipolabile.

@jamesdownar But to generate p value distributions, you have to do hypothesis testing on baseline data, which is not recommended nor valid to interpret. or do you mean Bayesian approaches to p values and differences for the actual outcome of interest? https://t.co/tjXSfrYPur
@Filmaker02 In this particular case, P-value doesn't apply because we're talking about data that was conflated and misrepresented (the mask debate), and people quoting others without proof (OP didn't show, thread l8r did). And even P-value method is in question now! https://t.co/AaxsfF27wr
@rashabun @AcademicChatter Obv, it depends on what you want to measure. P-values work for what they're supposed to do, in the right context (like anything). If you want to read some alternatives (that do other things), I can recommend this. Obv, the right method depends on your Q https://t.co/QkDtykztPi
