Abstract

Besides the inferential errors that abound in the interpretation of p-values, the probabilistic pre-conditions (i.e. random sampling or equivalent) for using them at all are not often met by observa-tional studies in the social sciences. This paper systematizes different sampling designs and discusses the restrictive requirements of data collection that are the sine-qua-non for using p-values.

$p$值可以在没有随机抽样的情况下进行有意义的解释吗?

除了在p值的解释中大量存在的推理误差之外，在社会科学的观察性研究中，使用p值的概率前提条件(即随机抽样或等效)通常不满足。本文系统化了不同的抽样设计，并讨论了数据收集的限制性要求，这些要求是使用p值的正弦条件。
