Title: Connecting P-Values and Posterior Probabilities Through Bayes Factor Bound: A Brief History and Its Application

Keywords: p-value; Bayes Factor Bound; clinical trial
Abstract:

P-values have long been used in null hypothesis significance testing (NHST). However, often ignored in practice is that one needs the context (i.e. prior knowledge) to interpret the p-value properly. Since Bayesian posterior probability naturally incorporates prior knowledge, in this talk, we’ll show how Bayes Factor Bound (BFB) can be used to derive an upper bound of the posterior probability of H1 from p-value. We’ll include a brief history of BFB and show its application in a clinical trial setting.
