摘要
The notion that small, well planned clinical trials may not be worth undertaking is shown to arise from an overemphasis on just one way of interpreting P‐values. Alternative forms of P and other interpretations are put forward. Attention is drawn to some aspects of the theory of hypothesis testing which seem less well known than they should be.
