Difference between Probability and Significance Value
In statistical hypothesis testing, the probability and significance value ($\alpha$) work together to help decide whether experimental findings reflect a real effect or just random chance. Basically, in hypothesis testing, the goal is to see if the probability value (p-value) is less than or equal to the significance level (i.e., is $p \le \alpha$). Key Differences between Probability and Significance Value Practical Example of Probability and Significance Value Pre-Experiment: Setting the Significance Value Post-Experiment: Calculating the p-value Making the Decision Exam pass rate Example At a fundamental level, the difference between the probability value and the significance value is:

what I am missing from the p.value discourse are applied examples of when a p.value less then or greater than .05 is approporiate. Eg, given the questions outcomes / applications/ sensitivities/ use cases, how they determined what is the more appropriate pvalue for that test would help alot

I want one with a low pvalue

День начался с очередного вопроса от очередного менеджера, не виновато ли pvalue в том, что эксперимент серый.

Даже не знаю, что отвечать на такое, хоть доку заготовить и кидать. Но вроде для продакта, постоянно крутящего экспы, это базовые знания.

Вот и настал момент на работе когда пригодилось знание определения pvalue, которое так любят обсуждать на собесах.

Разработчик спросил, что это за чиселка в табличке.

Yeah I’m just not seeing the added value of recalculating a pvalue to apply a subjective heuristic for gauging the plausibility of an effect and it seems quite pitfall ridden. Prior predictive simulation or some such would make bit more sense.

i have access to instagram and reddit again and oooooooo boy. let’s just say the regression coefficient of my mental health vs access to those apps has a pvalue<0.05.

Ended up using this one for CIs. Followed the link to Kristoffer Magnusson's website and found one that works well enough for CLT (rpsychologist.com/pvalue/)

Suppose you have two groups of very large size. You are curious how easily a difference D in mean height btw groups could arise by chance if they’re from the same population.

Then z ~ (D / sigma_hat) and Pr(Z > z | Z ~ N(0, 1)) is your pvalue for this test of a difference in means. Z is approximate

This conflates the likelihood of the null (the joint probability of observing the data given the null model) with a p value. These are not the same.

Frequentist stats has many problems. The tendency of most people to view a pvalue as a point estimate rather than a tail probability is one if them.

Eg: "using the best pvalue from preliminary measurements n=50 it is clear that the n=200 is well powered across all 1000 metabolites even with bonferroni correction".

Don't make me, the reviewer, do your power calculations.

The consortium, led by the statistician Peter Donnelly settled on a raw Pvalue of 5e-8 or less, though making more of a Bayesian argument of priors and density of true findings and less of a frequentist number of tests (despite it being a frequentist like probability under the null)

Ko wen-je received strong support from the younger generations. How strong is it? There is a high correlation between the percentage of people voting for Ko and people below 40. The scatter plot shows the relationship between two data. The Pearson correlation result is 0.685 and pvalue is 0.0.

while thinking about things I am definitely not going to include in this week's homework, I accidentally discovered that works on AO3 with foot fetish content attract significantly (MannWhitney-U=324761.5, pvalue=0.025) more kudos.

I am going outside. I may be quite some time.

It's a little odd. I am plotting the log10 of the -log10(pvalue) on the x axis so in this plot the null signal drops off much faster than what we observe in the @gwascatalog.bsky.social
I'm curious if anyone has a hypothesis why the lead SNP p-values would have this distribution.
September 28, 2025 at 1:50 PM
Aargh. The curse of the underflow p value strikes the MVP study.
In picking the lead snps the authors (inadvertantly) picked the first SNP with an underflow pvalue. This can be up to 500kb from the true lead snp.
All the strong pvalues listed from verma et al in @gwascatalog.bsky.social are suspect
See now this is what I'm talking about. A massive study (MVP) with 80,000 GWAS associations and the 1,000 most significant are corrupted because the authors didn't provide their actual p-values.
