In some recent threads, many people have been critical of P values. While I don't base decisions solely on P values, I find them useful. I use P values in my work.
So, I ask those critical of P values, "Do you use them in your work?" I'm not asking whether you are aware of them, but whether you generate them and report them as part of your assessment of data. I do. Do any of those who are critical of P values avoid using them altogether? If so, what do you do instead? This is not a question about what we might like to do or what would be preferable from a theoretical viewpoint. I'm curious to hear what people actually do when analyzing data.
