Classical frequentist statistics, including null-hypothesis significance testing (NHST), dominates nursing and medical research analysis. However, there is increasing recognition that null-hypothesis Bayesian testing (NHBT) merits inclusion in healthcare research analysis.
To recommend that researchers complement the P-value from NHST with a Bayes factor from NHBT in their research analysis.
Reporting the P-value and a Bayes factor clarifies results that may be difficult to interpret using the P-value alone.
NHBT offers statistical and practical advantages that complement NHST.
包括零假设显著性检验(NHST)在内的经典频率统计学在护理和医学研究分析中占据主导地位。然而,越来越多的人认识到,零假设贝叶斯检验(NHBT)在医疗保健研究分析中值得采用。
建议研究人员在其研究分析中用NHBT的贝叶斯因子补充NHST的P值。
报告P值和贝叶斯因子可澄清仅使用P值可能难以解释的结果。
NHBT提供了补充NHST的统计和实际优势。
