• Here is a JAVA applet that demonstrates that common interpretations of p-values can be very misleading; an explanation of the applet is available as a .ps or as a .pdf file. The applet is specifically written for a companion paper that explains the basic issues and suggests simple solutions.
  
  
• This paper discusses a solution to the p-value dilemma, phrased within the historical context of testing.
