In 2016 the American Statistical Association published its first
position paper on the use of p-values, and in 2017 a group of
statisticians and other researchers published a paper recommending a
change to the traditional definition of statistical significance. This
talk will discuss some of the p-values problems and solutions raised in
these and other papers, illustrating the ideas through a series of
examples of published studies. The need for more attention to the
communication and "human factors" of statistics and data science will
also be briefly discussed.
