Redefining Statistical Significance: Robustness and Percent Fragility Indices in Biomedical Research
The p-value has long been the standard for statistical significance in scientific research, but this binary approach often fails to consider the nuances of statistical power and the potential for large sample sizes to show statistical significance despite trivial treatment effects. Incorporating fragility metrics such as the robustness index and percent fragility index into routine…
