I gather that some journals *are* doing that, to the extent of actually disallowing multi-df testing (I'll say that it is a case of proselytes being holier than the prophets). And of course a 95% CI is strongly linked to testing at a fixed significance level, so the information contained in the P-value is lost that way. > - P-values are dangerous, especially large, small, and in-between ones. <grin> Good one... -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.
