In these situations, it is therefore possible to reconcile measures of evidence between Bayesian and frequentist approaches. More specifically, for the class of unimodal, symmetric and nonincreasing prior distributions, it is shown that the infimum of the posterior probability ofH 0 is numerically equal to thep value. The discrepancy which appears in the literature dedicated to this subject until now, is due to the form of the mixed distribution and not due to its use as a prior.engjournal articlehttps//doi.org/10.1007/BF02565110https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF02565110restricted access519.22Posterior probabilityp-valuePoint null hypothesis.Estadística matemática (Matemáticas)1209 Estadística
