The Power of the Statistical Test
Journal Title: Sports and Exercise Medicine – Open Journal - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
To the Editor, I would like to add some reflections about Steele's paper published in 2012 [1]. I could notice two main points in that paper. One of these is about the scientific language to communicate conclusions to policymakers and the other one is about the statistics decision theory. These problems are consequence of R. Fisher's tradition to test the null hypothesis through the arbitrary cut with α in 0.05, 0.01 or 0.001.
