Seminar: Trust or Confidence: Using Confidence Intervals

Trust or confidence: Using confidence intervals

Overview

Despite the American Statistical Association releasing a statement almost 10 years ago saying that "Scientific conclusions and business or policy decisions should not be based only on whether a p-value passes a specific threshold", in practice, still some conclusions and decisions are being based on a single value (usually a significance level of 0.05).The talk will cover the importance of confidence intervals in making conclusions, rather than relying only on p-values. It will include examples of confidence interval performance.

The talk will be about 40 minutes long and following by discussion.
