"In 2016, the American Statistical Association released a statement in The American Statistician warning against the misuse of statistical significance and P values. The issue also included many commentaries on the subject. This month, a special issue in the same journal attempts to push these reforms further. It presents more than 40 papers on ‘Statistical inference in the 21st century: a world beyond P < 0.05’. The editors introduce the collection with the caution “don’t say ‘statistically significant’”3. Another article4 with dozens of signatories also calls on authors and journal editors to disavow those terms.
We agree, and call for the entire concept of statistical significance to be abandoned."
