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. © Iran University of Medical Sciences.
