    Hi Zed ! Is it possible that one day you make a serie of videos where you just take a database and examine it juste like you’d do it as a statistician (for example, where do you begin, what questions do you ask yourself and how you answer them etc). I think it would be a perfect example that’ll show us how statisticians work ! Thank you for all your content

    I have to say this is the best and righteous video about P value, compare to a bunch of high-viewcount videos from blissfully misunderstood author about what p value is. Calculating the p value is not something complex, but the point that you really touch here is: Why rejecting the null hypothesis when the p value reach some small limit (5% to be common)? What is the link of trusting the null hypothesis with getting some really rare samples?
    And i think you done a great job addressing this stuck point in understanding the p value. Great job. Keep it up!

    • @neil6407
      @neil6407 Před 8 měsíci

      This is not correct, exactly. I repeated this many times and would like to involve @zedstatistics once and hear his take on it. I believe the correct interpretation would be, "The p-value of 0.18 means that if the null hypothesis (H0) is true, there is an 18% probability of obtaining results as extreme or more extreme than those observed on repeated testing. This is not the same as saying that there is an 18% probability of obtaining the observed effect by chance." Though I understand this is a minor thing since you're rejecting it anyway, for understanding, it's more like percentage vs percentile. It's more about the cumulative probability of extremes vs the probability of this exact finding.

    @farheenahmed5103 Před 3 lety +1

    Thanks for the video! I am a bit confused about why a confounder is sometimes a nonsignificant predictor based on likelihood ratio test. By definition a confounder has association with both - exposure and the outcome, and it's not in the causal pathway.
    So, if a regressor is a confounder, the p value of LR test on it's removal from the model should be significant, right?
    Why is it the case that regressors sometimes have nonsignificant p value of LR test on their removal from the model but are found to be a confounder as per change-in-estimate criteria? Is this because of type 2 error in LR test where we accepted the null hypothesis when we shouldn't have done so?

    Then, we convert to SND, (56-50)/5=1.2. And p-value= 2*P(Z>1.2)=2*.1151=0.2302

    Cool! I don't know much about stats, but the convention I think that is most conservative would be to choose a threshold; if doing a 2-tail test divide threshold by 2 and apply to both sides of the PDF, if doing 1-tail test, divide threshold by 2 still, and use half on one side... this is the most conservative way of doing it I guess... if I didn't divide by 2 in either case of a 2-tail or 1-tail test it would be less conservative with respect to the hypothesis.... but it means the 1tails are more conservative than the 2tails... I'm babbling.... Thanks for the video!
