2024 Cruise
We are now at stop 3 on our December leisurely cruise through SIST: Excursion 3 Tour III. I am pasting the slides and video from this session during the LSE Research Seminars in 2020 (from which this cruise derives). (Remember it was early pandemic, and we weren’t so adept with zooming.) The Higgs discussion clarifies (and defends) a somewhat controversial interpretation of p-values. (If you’re interested in the Higgs discovery, there’s a lot more on this blog you can find with the search. Ben Recht recently blogged that the Higgs discovery did not take place. HEP physicists roundly responded. I would omit the section on “capability and severity” were I to write a second edition, while keeping the duality of tests and CIs. Share your remarks in the comments.
