p -Values, Bayes Factors, and Sufficiency

Abstract: Various approaches can be used to construct a model from a null distribution and a test statistic. I prove that one such approach, originating with D. R. Cox, has the property that the p-value is never greater than the Generalized Likelihood Ratio (GLR). When combined with the general result that the GLR is never greater than any Bayes factor, we conclude that, under Cox's model, the p-value is never greater than any Bayes factor. I also provide a generalization, illustrations for the canonical Normal model, a… Show more

“…Among psychology researchers, classical null hypothesis significance testing that generates p values is the best known and most widely used method. There are other inference methods, including Bayesian estimation and interval estimation with effect sizes (Calin-Jagemen & Cumming, 2019;Rougier, 2019), but the reporting of p values is predominant in the psychology research literature. Thus, it is no surprise that many, if not most, questionable data analysis practices involve the misuse or misinterpretation of p values.…”

“…Kennedy-Shaffer (2019) contrasts the frequentist and Bayesian inferential frameworks from a historical perspective. Rougier (2019) shows that under certain context, the p-value is never greater than the Bayes factor through an inequality based on the generalized likelihood ratio. Johnson (2019) compares the likelihood ratio test and Bayes factor in the context of a marginally significant t-test and suggests a more stringent standard of evidence.…”
