The p value has been widely used as a way to summarise the significance in data analysis. However, misuse and misinterpretation of the p value is common in practice. Our result shows that if the model specification is wrong, the distribution of the p value may be inappropriate, which makes the decision based on the p value invalid.
p值已被广泛用作总结数据分析中显著性的一种方式。然而,在实际应用中,p值的误用和错误解读很常见。我们的结果表明,如果模型设定错误,p值的分布可能不合适,这会使基于p值的决策无效。
