Hey, MIke, "Don't know what the p stands for, puny?" You've been around biotech too long not to know, so you're just joking, right? If not . . . In drug development, p-values are used to determine the outcome of a drug study. More here: en.wikipedia.org FDA seems to have arbitrarily set a p value of 0.05 for success. Meaning there is a 95% chance that the observed effect on the endpoint in question is from the drug. Or a 5% chance that is it isn't from the drug. Cheers, Tuck
