2024 Cruise
We are now at the second stop 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. I am not sure if I would include the section on “capability and severity” were I to write a second edition, though I would keep the duality of tests and CIs. My goal was to expose a fallacy that is even more common nowadays, but I would have placed a revised version later in the book. Share your remarks in the comments.
