A counterview of ‘An investigation of the false discovery rate and the misinterpretation of p-values’ by Colquhoun

Abstract

In commenting on the instructive, comprehensive and entertainingly written article by Prof. Colquhoun (hereinafter referred to as ‘the author’), we state unequivocally that we have no truck with its motivation. Indeed, we too often find the Fisherian approach troubling. Nor do we wish to become involved in the relative merits of ‘Bayesian’ versus ‘Fisherian’ methods.
