- Project Abstract:
We surveyed recent clinical results to compare reproducibility of results given by p-values as compared with other statistical summaries. The aim was to study the stability of the p-values relative to their corresponding parameter estimate. We found that there the variability among p-values was larger than the variation among estimates, supporting the skepticism of the reliance on p-values in statistical inference.
