No, he is not wrong. There are many fields where p-values are irrelevant.
For instance, in the fields of electrical engineering and computer science, you can "prove" your results by either building/fabricating a prototype or writing a piece of software.
- avian 9y agoTrue. Often authors don't even share the said piece of software or detailed plans for the prototype.
- Godel_unicode 9y agoI wonder how true that is in data science, if you're dealing with a non-deterministic algorithm. You're going to have cases for which your magic NN doesn't recognize the cat.
- learnstats2 9y agoBack to this thread to note this method of "proving" results by existence is working great for chip manufacturers right now.
