The Wolfram blog post “P-Value Pitfalls: Correction Common Mistakes” ( A precise explanation of the P - Value ) by Seth Chandler, begins:
We are now ready for a crucial concept : the p - value.
It seems that this document is a continuation of some larger work on statistics. Where does one find the predecessor document(s)?
Editorial on p-values from the American Statistical Association: ASA Statement on p-Values
(only 4 pages of text)
Reader’s Digest Version (for those of you old enough to know what that is): The American Statistical Association statement on P-values explained
The document emerged out of some unpublished course lectures. I hope the document I did post is useful on a stand-alone basis.
Yes, I’ve read the ASA statement. But I didn’t ask about related documents on the top, but rather specifically about predecessor documents from the blog post’s author, since the post seems to begin “mid-stream”.
Yes, the post (and Notebook file) is useful as is.
It would certainly be even more useful in the context of prerequisite statistics/probability exposition. Just a suggestion!
Sorry. I know you know this stuff. I should have added it to Seth’s post rather than yours.
