Statistics, what you always wanted to know about the p-value

Description

What you always wanted to know about the p-value but were afraid to ask!

Do you think that the p-value indicates the probability that your result could be false positive? Have you ever thought about how likely the hypotheses are that you are investigating in your research? Could you explain to someone, including yourself, what statistical significance actually means? Do you know the "winner's curse"?

Target

To answer these and many other questions about the scientific ritual of significance testing, including whether we should redefine or even abolish statistical significance, as many prominent statisticians and scientists have recently called for.
