Confidence intervals or hypothesis tests?

Pages 195-201 | Published online: 28 Jul 2006
 

Abstract

The practical merits of Neyman-Pearson confidence intervals versus hypothesis tests (especially p-values) are discussed. In the one-parameter case, confidence intervals convey much more comprehensible information, especially for the ultimate users of statistics. For more complicated inferences, p-values may be simpler and more routine.
