BERD BITES: P-value, Posterior Probability and Prior Distribution

Apr 29, 2024, 12:00 – 1:00 PM

As widely used as p-value in basic science and clinical trials, it is also greatly criticized. Alongside with p-value is Bayesian posterior probability. One idea that is widely spread is that p-value could be very close to Bayesian posterior probability for a one-sided hypothesis test, while those two are dramatically different for a two-sided test. In this talk, we argue that it is the choice of prior distribution other than the set up of a hypothesis testing that impacts the reconcilability or lack of it between p-value and posterior probability.
