Abstract
The misinterpretation and misuse of p-value have been increasing for decades. In March 2016, the American Statistical Association
released a statement to warn about the use and interpretation of p-value. In this study, we provided a definition and discussion of pvalue
and emphasized the importance of its accurate interpretation.
