Which is why p-values depend on your stopping rule (and do not satisfy the "likelihood principle"). In this regard, see Jeffreys's quote below.</p><p>Imagine you design an experiment this way: "I'll test 10 subjects, and in the meantime I apply for a grant. At the time the 10th subject is tested, I'll know my application's outcome. If the outcome is positive, I'll test 10 more subjects; if it isn't, I'll stop". Not an unrealistic situation.</p><p>With this stopping rule, your p-value will depend on the probability that you get the grant. This is not a joke.</p><p>"*What the use of P implies, therefore, is that a hypothesis that may be true may be rejected because it has not predicted observable results that have not occurred.* This seems a remarkable procedure. On the face of it the fact that such results have not occurred might more reasonably be taken as evidence for the law, not against it." – H.
