Hi. I have a query regarding whether it is logical to place a confidence interval about a P-value. The computation involved uses a permutation method to produce a P-value for a hypothesis test. In an effort to check the reliability of this P-value I have been bootstrapping the raw data to produce a confidence interval about this P-value. Curiously, for significant P-values the CI is in general quite narrow, whereas for non-significant values, I get enormous CIs. This leads me to the suspicion that there is something flawed about the process. Am I correct in my suspicions? Regards, Enda
