In statistical significance testing, the p-value is the probability of obtaining a test statistic at least as extreme as the one that was actually observed, assuming that the null hypothesis is true. A researcher will often "reject the null hypothesis" when the p-value turns out to be less than a certain significance level, often 0.05Template:SfnTemplate:Sfn or 0.01. Such a result indicates that the observed result would be highly unlikely under the null hypothesis. Many common statistical tests, such as chi-squared tests or Student's t-test, produce test statistics which can be interpreted using p-values.

The p-value is a key concept in the approach of Ronald Fisher, where he uses it to measure the weight of the data against a specified hypothesis, and as a guideline to ignore data that does not reach a specified significance level. Fisher's approach does not involve any alternative hypothesis, which is instead a feature of the Neyman–Pearson approach.

The p-value should not be confused with the Type I error rate [false positive rate] α in the Neyman–Pearson approach. Although α is also called a "significance level" and is often 0.05, these two "significance levels" have different meanings. Their parent approaches are incompatible, and the numbers p and α cannot meaningfully be compared. Fundamentally, the p-value does not in itself support reasoning about the probabilities of hypotheses, nor choosing between different hypotheses–it is simply a measure of how likely the data (or a more "extreme" version of it) were to have occurred by chance, assuming the null hypothesis is true.

Statistical hypothesis tests making use of p-values are commonly used in many fields of science and social sciences, such as economics, psychology, biology, criminal justice and criminology, and sociology.

Depending on which style guide is applied, the "p" is styled either italic or not, capitalized or not, and hyphenated or not (p-value, p value, P-value, P value, p-value, p value, P-value, P value).

Definition

File:P-value Graph.png

Example of a p-value computation. The vertical coordinate is the probability density of each outcome, computed under the null hypothesis. The p-value is the area under the curve past the observed data point.

The p-value is used in the context of null hypothesis testing in order to quantify the idea of statistical significance of evidence. Null hypothesis testing is a reductio ad absurdum argument adapted to statistics. In essence, a claim is shown to be valid by demonstrating the improbability of the counter-claim that follows from its denial. As such, the only hypothesis which needs to be specified in this test, and which embodies the counter-claim, is referred to as the null hypothesis. A result is said to be statistically significant if it can enable the rejection of the null hypothesis. The rejection of the null hypothesis implies that the correct hypothesis lies in the logical complement of the null hypothesis.

In statistics, a statistical hypothesis refers to a probability distribution that is assumed to govern the observed data. If $X$ is the observed data and $H$ is the statistical hypothesis under consideration, then the notion of statistical significance can be naively quantified by the conditional probability $Pr(X|H),$ which gives the likelihood of the observation if the hypothesis is assumed to be correct. However, if $X$ is a continuous random variable, and we observed an instance $x$, then $Pr(X=x|H)=0.$ Thus this naive definition is inadequate and needs to be changed so as to accommodate the continuous random variables. Nonetheless, it does help to clarify that p-values should not be confused with either $Pr(H|X),$ the probability of the hypothesis given the data, or $Pr(H),$ the probability of the hypothesis being true, or $Pr(X),$ the probability of observing the given data.

The p-value is defined as the probability, under the assumption of hypothesis $H$, of obtaining a result equal to or more extreme than what was actually observed. Depending on how we look at it, the "more extreme than what was actually observed" can either mean $\{X\ge x\}$ (right tail event) or $\{X\le x\}$ (left tail event) or the "smaller" of $\{X\le x\}$ and $\{X\ge x\}$ (double tailed event). Thus the p-value is given by

• $Pr(X\ge x|H)$ for right tail event,
• $Pr(X\le x|H)$ for left tail event,
• $2\min (Pr(X\le x|H),Pr(X\ge x|H))$ for double tail event.

The smaller the p-value, larger the significance because it tells the investigator that the hypothesis under consideration may not adequately explain the observation. The hypothesis $H$ is rejected if any of these probabilities is less than or equal to a small but arbitrarily pre-defined threshold p-value $\alpha$, which is referred to as the level of significance.

It should be noted that since the value of $x$ that defines the left tail or right tail event is a random variable, this makes the p-value a function of $x$ and a random variable in itself defined uniformly over $[0,1]$ interval. This implies that p-value cannot be given a frequency counting interpretation, since the probability has to be fixed for the frequency counting interpretation to hold. In other words, if a same test is repeated independently bearing upon the same overall null hypothesis, then it will yield different p-values at every repetition. Nevertheless, these different p-values can be combined using Fisher's combined probability test. However, the pre-defined $\alpha$ level can be interpreted as the rate of falsely rejecting the null hypothesis (or type I error).

Calculation

Usually, instead of the actual observations, $X$ is instead a test statistic. A test statistic is a scalar function of all the observations, which summarizes the data by a single number. As such, the test statistic follows a distribution determined by the function used to define that test statistic and the distribution of the observational data. For the important case where the data are hypothesized to follow the normal distribution, depending on the nature of the test statistic, and thus our underlying hypothesis of the test statistic, different null hypothesis tests have been developed. Some such tests are z-test for normal distribution, t-test for Student's t-distribution, f-test for f-distribution. When the data do not follow a normal distribution, it can still be possible to approximate the distribution of these tests statistics by a normal distribution by invoking the central limit theorem for large samples, as in the case of Pearson's chi-squared test.

Even though computing the test statistic on given data may be easy, computing the sampling distribution under the null hypothesis, and then computing its CDF is often a difficult computation. Today this computation is done using statistical software, often via numeric methods (rather than exact formulas), while in the early and mid 20th century, this was instead done via tables of values, and one interpolated or extrapolated p-values from these discrete values. Rather than using a table of p-values, Fisher instead inverted the CDF, publishing a list of values of the test statistic for given fixed p-values; this corresponds to computing the quantile function (inverse CDF).

Examples

Computing a p-value requires a null hypothesis, a test statistic (together with deciding if the researcher is performing a one-tailed test or a two-tailed test), and data. A few simple examples follow, each illustrating a potential pitfall.

One roll of a pair of dice

Suppose a researcher rolls a pair of dice once and assumes a null hypothesis that the dice are fair. The test statistic is "the sum of the rolled numbers" and is one-tailed. The researcher rolls the dice and observes that both dice show 6, yielding a test statistic of 12. The p-value of this outcome is 1/36, or about 0.028 (the highest test statistic out of 6×6 = 36 possible outcomes). If the researcher assumed a significance level of 0.05, he or she would deem this result significant and would reject the hypothesis that the dice are fair.

In this case, a single roll provides a very weak basis (that is, insufficient data) to draw a meaningful conclusion about the dice. This illustrates the danger with blindly applying p-value without considering the experiment design.

Five heads in a row

Suppose a researcher flips a coin five times in a row and assumes a null hypothesis that the coin is fair. The test statistic of "total number of heads" can be one-tailed or two-tailed: a one-tailed test corresponds to seeing if the coin is biased towards heads, while a two-tailed test corresponds to seeing if the coin is biased either way. The researcher flips the coin five times and observes heads each time (HHHHH), yielding a test statistic of 5. In a one-tailed test, this is the most extreme value out of all possible outcomes, and yields a p-value of (1/2)⁵ = 1/32 ≈ 0.03. If the researcher assumed a significance level of 0.05, he or she would deem this result to be significant and would reject the hypothesis that the coin is fair. In a two-tailed test, a test statistic of zero heads (TTTTT) is just as extreme, and thus the data of HHHHH would yield a p-value of 2/2⁵ = 1/16 ≈ 0.06, which is not significant at the 0.05 level.

This demonstrates that specifying a direction (on a symmetric test statistic) halves the p-value (increases the significance) and can mean the difference between data being considered significant or not.

Sample size dependence

Suppose a researcher flips a coin some arbitrary number of times (n) and assumes a null hypothesis that the coin is fair. The test statistic is the total number of heads. Suppose the researcher observes heads for each flip, yielding a test statistic of n and a p-value of 2/2ⁿ. If the coin was flipped only 5 times, the p-value would be 2/32 = 0.0625, which is not significant at the 0.05 level. But if the coin was flipped 10 times, the p-value would be 2/1024 ≈ 0.002, which is significant at the 0.05 level.

In both cases the data suggest that the null hypothesis is false (that is, the coin is not fair somehow), but changing the sample size changes the p-value and significance level. In the first case the sample size is not large enough to allow the null hypothesis to be rejected at the 0.05 level (in fact, the p-value never be below 0.05).

This demonstrates that in interpreting p-values, one must also know the sample size, which complicates the analysis.

Alternating coin flips

Suppose a researcher flips a coin ten times and assumes a null hypothesis that the coin is fair. The test statistic is the total number of heads and is two-tailed. Suppose the researcher observes alternating heads and tails with every flip (HTHTHTHTHT). This yields a test statistic of 5 and a p-value of 1 (completely unexceptional), as this is exactly the expected number of heads.

Suppose instead that test statistic for this experiment was the "number of alternations" (that is, the number of times when H followed T or T followed H), which is again two-tailed. This would yield a test statistic of 9, which is extreme, and has a p-value of $1/2^8=1/256\approx 0.0039,$. This would be considered extremely significant—well beyond the 0.05 level. These data indicate that, in terms of one test statistic, the data set is extremely unlikely to have occurred by chance, though it does not suggest that the coin is biased towards heads or tails.

By the first test statistic, the data yield a high p-value, suggesting that the number of heads observed is not unlikely. By the second test statistic, the data yield a low p-value, suggesting that the pattern of flips observed is very, very unlikely. There is no "alternative hypothesis," so only rejection of the null hypothesis is possible) and such data could have many causes – the data may instead be forged, or the coin flipped by a magician who intentionally alternated outcomes.

This example demonstrates that the p-value depends completely on the test statistic used, and illustrates that p-values can only help researchers to reject a null hypothesis, not consider other hypotheses.

Impossible outcome and very unlikely outcome

Suppose a researcher flips a coin two times and assumes a null hypothesis that the coin is unfair: it has two heads and no tails. The test statistic is the total number of heads (one-tailed). The researcher observes one head and one tail (HT), yielding a test statistic of 1 and a p-value of 0. In this case the data is inconsistent with the hypothesis–for a two-headed coin, a tail can never come up. In this case the outcome is not simply unlikely in the null hypothesis, but in fact impossible, and the null hypothesis can be definitely rejected as false. In practice such experiments almost never occur, as all data that could be observed would be possible in the null hypothesis (albeit unlikely).

If the null hypothesis were instead that the coin came up heads 99% of the time (otherwise the same setup), the p-value would instead beTemplate:Efn $0.0199\approx 0.02.$ In this case the null hypothesis could not definitely be ruled out – this outcome is unlikely in the null hypothesis, but not impossible – but the null hypothesis would be rejected at the 0.05 level, and in fact at the 0.02 level, since the outcome is less than 2% likely in the null hypothesis.

Coin flipping

Mining Engineer (Excluding Oil ) Truman from Alma, loves to spend time knotting, largest property developers in singapore developers in singapore and stamp collecting. Recently had a family visit to Urnes Stave Church. As an example of a statistical test, an experiment is performed to determine whether a coin flip is fair (equal chance of landing heads or tails) or unfairly biased (one outcome being more likely than the other).

Suppose that the experimental results show the coin turning up heads 14 times out of 20 total flips. The null hypothesis is that the coin is fair, so the p-value of this result is the chance of a fair coin landing on heads at least 14 times out of 20 flips. This probability can be computed from binomial coefficients as

$\begin{array}{rl}& \mathrm{Prob}(14\text{ heads})+\mathrm{Prob}(15\text{ heads})+\cdots +\mathrm{Prob}(20\text{ heads})\\ & =\frac{1}{2^{20}}[(\genfrac{}{}{0ex}{}{20}{14})+(\genfrac{}{}{0ex}{}{20}{15})+\cdots +(\genfrac{}{}{0ex}{}{20}{20})]=\frac{60,460}{1,048,576}\approx 0.058\end{array}$

This probability is the p-value, considering only extreme results which favor heads. This is called a one-tailed test. However, the deviation can be in either direction, favoring either heads or tails. We may instead calculate the two-tailed p-value, which considers deviations favoring either heads or tails. As the binomial distribution is symmetrical for a fair coin, the two-sided p-value is simply twice the above calculated single-sided p-value; i.e., the two-sided p-value is 0.115.

In the above example we thus have:

• Null hypothesis (H₀): The coin is fair; Prob(heads) = 0.5
• Observation O: 14 heads out of 20 flips; and
• p-value of observation O given H₀ = Prob(≥ 14 heads or ≥ 14 tails) = 2*(1-Prob(< 14)) = 0.115.

The calculated p-value exceeds 0.05, so the observation is consistent with the null hypothesis, as it falls within the range of what would happen 95% of the time were the coin in fact fair. Hence, we fail to reject the null hypothesis at the 5% level. Although the coin did not fall evenly, the deviation from expected outcome is small enough to be consistent with chance.

However, had one more head been obtained, the resulting p-value (two-tailed) would have been 0.0414 (4.14%). This time the null hypothesis – that the observed result of 15 heads out of 20 flips can be ascribed to chance alone – is rejected when using a 5% cut-off.

History

While the modern use of p-values was popularized by Fisher in the 1920s, computations of p-values date back to the 1770s, where they were calculated by Pierre-Simon Laplace:Template:Sfn 36 year-old Diving Instructor (Open water ) Vancamp from Kuujjuaq, spends time with pursuits for instance gardening, public listed property developers in singapore developers in singapore and cigar smoking. Of late took some time to go China Danxia.

The p-value was first formally introduced by Karl Pearson in his Pearson's chi-squared test,Template:Sfn using the chi-squared distribution and notated as capital P.Template:Sfn The p-values for the chi-squared distribution (for various values of χ² and degrees of freedom), now notated as P, was calculated in Template:Harv, collected in Template:Harv. The use of the p-value in statistics was popularized by Ronald Fisher,Template:Sfn and it plays a central role in Fisher's approach to statistics.Template:Sfn

In the influential book Statistical Methods for Research Workers (1925), Fisher proposes the level p = 0.05, or a 1 in 20 chance of being exceeded by chance, as a limit for statistical significance, and applies this to a normal distribution (as a two-tailed test), thus yielding the rule of two standard deviations (on a normal distribution) for statistical significance – see 68–95–99.7 rule.Template:SfnTemplate:EfnTemplate:Sfn

He then computes a table of values, similar to Elderton, but, importantly, reverses the roles of χ² and p. That is, rather than computing p for different values of χ² (and degrees of freedom n), he computes values of χ² that yield specified p-values, specifically 0.99, 0.98, 0.95, 0,90, 0.80, 0.70, 0.50, 0.30, 0.20, 0.10, 0.05, 0.02, and 0.01.Template:Sfn This allowed computed values of χ² to be compared against cutoffs, and encouraged the use of p-values (especially 0.05, 0.02, and 0.01) as cutoffs, instead of computing and reporting p-values themselves. The same type of tables were then compiled in Template:Harv, which cemented the approach.Template:Sfn

As an illustration of the application of p-values to the design and interpretation of experiments, in his following book The Design of Experiments (1935), Fisher presented the lady tasting tea experiment,Template:Sfn which is the archetypal example of the p-value.

To evaluate a lady's claim that she (Muriel Bristol) could distinguish by taste how tea is prepared (first adding the milk to the cup, then the tea, or first tea, then milk), she was sequentially presented with 8 cups: 4 prepared one way, 4 prepared the other, and asked to determine the preparation of each cup (knowing that there were 4 of each). In this case the null hypothesis was that she had no special ability, the test was Fisher's exact test, and the p-value was $1/(\genfrac{}{}{0ex}{}{8}{4})=1/70\approx 0.014,$ so Fisher was willing to reject the null hypothesis (consider the outcome highly unlikely to be due to chance) if all were classified correctly. (In the actual experiment, Bristol correctly classified all 8 cups.)

Fisher reiterated the p = 0.05 threshold and explained its rationale, stating:Template:Sfn 36 year-old Diving Instructor (Open water ) Vancamp from Kuujjuaq, spends time with pursuits for instance gardening, public listed property developers in singapore developers in singapore and cigar smoking. Of late took some time to go China Danxia. He also applies this threshold to the design of experiments, noting that had only 6 cups been presented (3 of each), a perfect classification would have only yielded a p-value of $1/(\genfrac{}{}{0ex}{}{6}{3})=1/20=0.05,$ which would not have met this level of significance.Template:Sfn Fisher also underlined the frequentist interpretation of p, as the long-run proportion of values at least as extreme as the data, assuming the null hypothesis is true.

In later editions, Fisher explicitly contrasted the use of the p-value for statistical inference in science with the Neyman–Pearson method, which he terms "Acceptance Procedures".Template:Sfn Fisher emphasizes that while fixed levels such as 5%, 2%, and 1% are convenient, the exact p-value can be used, and the strength of evidence can and will be revised with further experimentation. In contrast, decision procedures require a clear-cut decision, yielding an irreversible action, and the procedure is based on costs of error, which he argues are inapplicable to scientific research.

Misunderstandings

Despite the ubiquity of p-value tests, this particular test for statistical significance has been criticized for its inherent shortcomings and the potential for misinterpretation.

The data obtained by comparing the p-value to a significance level will yield one of two results: either the null hypothesis is rejected, or the null hypothesis cannot be rejected at that significance level (which however does not imply that the null hypothesis is true). In Fisher's formulation, there is a disjunction: a low p-value means either that the null hypothesis is true and a highly improbable event has occurred, or that the null hypothesis is false.

However, people interpret the p-value in many incorrect ways, and try to draw other conclusions from p-values, which do not follow.

The p-value does not in itself allow reasoning about the probabilities of hypotheses; this requires multiple hypotheses or a range of hypotheses, with a prior distribution of likelihoods between them, as in Bayesian statistics, in which case one uses a likelihood function for all possible values of the prior, instead of the p-value for a single null hypothesis.

The p-value refers only to a single hypothesis, called the null hypothesis, and does not make reference to or allow conclusions about any other hypotheses, such as the alternative hypothesis in Neyman–Pearson statistical hypothesis testing. In that approach one instead has a decision function between two alternatives, often based on a test statistic, and one computes the rate of Type I and type II errors as α and β. However, the p-value of a test statistic cannot be directly compared to these error rates α and β – instead it is fed into a decision function.

There are several common misunderstandings about p-values.

1. The p-value is not the probability that the null hypothesis is true, nor is it the probability that the alternative hypothesis is false – it is not connected to either of these. In fact, frequentist statistics does not, and cannot, attach probabilities to hypotheses. Comparison of Bayesian and classical approaches shows that a p-value can be very close to zero while the posterior probability of the null is very close to unity (if there is no alternative hypothesis with a large enough a priori probability and which would explain the results more easily). This is Lindley's paradox. But there are also a priori probability distributions where the posterior probability and the p-value have similar or equal values.
2. The p-value is not the probability that a finding is "merely a fluke." As calculating the p-value is based on the assumption that every finding is a fluke (that is, the product of chance alone), it cannot be used to gauge the probability of a finding being true. The p-value is the chance of obtaining the findings we got (or more extreme) if the null hypothesis is true.
3. The p-value is not the probability of falsely rejecting the null hypothesis. This error is a version of the so-called prosecutor's fallacy.
4. The p-value is not the probability that replicating the experiment would yield the same conclusion. Quantifying the replicability of an experiment was attempted through the concept of p-rep.
5. The significance level, such as 0.05, is not determined by the p-value. Rather, the significance level is decided by the person conducting the experiment (with the value 0.05 widely used by the scientific community) before the data are viewed, and is compared against the calculated p-value after the test has been performed. (However, reporting a p-value is more useful than simply saying that the results were or were not significant at a given level, and allows readers to decide for themselves whether to consider the results significant.)
6. The p-value does not indicate the size or importance of the observed effect. The two do vary together however–the larger the effect, the smaller sample size will be required to get a significant p-value (see effect size).

Criticisms

Mining Engineer (Excluding Oil ) Truman from Alma, loves to spend time knotting, largest property developers in singapore developers in singapore and stamp collecting. Recently had a family visit to Urnes Stave Church.

Critics of p-values point out that the criterion used to decide "statistical significance" is based on an arbitrary choice of level (often set at 0.05). If significance testing is applied to hypotheses that are known to be false in advance, a non-significant result will simply reflect an insufficient sample size; a p-value depends only on the information obtained from a given experiment.

The p-value is incompatible with the likelihood principle, and p-value depends on the experiment design, or equivalently on the test statistic in question. That is, the definition of "more extreme" data depends on the sampling methodology adopted by the investigator; for example, the situation in which the investigator flips the coin 100 times yielding 50 heads has a set of extreme data that is different from the situation in which the investigator continues to flip the coin until 50 heads are achieved yielding 100 flips. This is to be expected, as the experiments are different experiments, and the sample spaces and the probability distributions for the outcomes are different even though the observed data (50 heads out of 100 flips) are the same for the two experiments.

Fisher proposed p as an informal measure of evidence against the null hypothesis. He called on researchers to combine p in the mind with other types of evidence for and against that hypothesis, such as the a priori plausibility of the hypothesis and the relative strengths of results from previous studies.Template:Sfn

Many misunderstandings concerning p arise because statistics classes and instructional materials ignore or at least do not emphasize the role of prior evidence in interpreting p; thus, the p-value is sometimes portrayed as the main result of statistical significance testing, rather than the acceptance or rejection of the null hypothesis at a pre-prescribed significance level. A renewed emphasis on prior evidence could encourage researchers to place p in the proper context, evaluating a hypothesis by weighing p together with all the other evidence about the hypothesis.

Related quantities

A closely related concept is the E-value, which is the average number of times in multiple testing that one expects to obtain a test statistic at least as extreme as the one that was actually observed, assuming that the null hypothesis is true. The E-value is the product of the number of tests and the p-value.

The 'inflated' (or adjusted) p-value, is when a group of p-values are changed according to some multiple comparisons procedure so that each of the adjusted p-values can now be compared to the same threshold level of significance (α), while keeping the type I error controlled. The control is in the sense that the specific procedures controls it, it might be controlling the familywise error rate, the false discovery rate, or some other error rate.
