What Are Some Limitations of Relying on Statistical Measures?
While statistical measures like p-values and confidence intervals are helpful, they are not without limitations. P-values, for example, do not measure the size of an effect or its clinical significance. Overreliance on p-values can lead to p-hacking, where researchers manipulate data to achieve statistically significant results. Confidence intervals, although more informative, can still be influenced by the sample size and variability in the data.
