P-Values, Probabilities, and Uncertainty: Statistics professor Nicole Lazar

Interview with UGA professor of statistics and Fellow of the American Statistical Association Nicole Lazar. One of three co-authors of an editorial published in a special issue of The American Statistician in March 2019 that addressed a compelling issue effecting research and clinical trial results across the sciences, Lazar speaks with Alan Flurry about the use of statistical significance in research findings.

 The entire issue, “Statistical Inference in the 21st century: A world beyond P<.0.05,” contained 43 papers by statisticians around the world calling for an end to using this specific probability value.
