Talk:Critical value

Untitled

Well, it has not yet been added to the VfD list. When it is, I shall be arguing that the listing was poorly thought out: this was a perfectly good stub.

This needs to be two different articles. The statistics definition of Critical Value is completely different from the Topological meaning.

I agree. I think this should become a disambiguation page. Universalcosmos 16:43, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Support. Probably three different articles. However, Critical value (statistics) should be redirected to Statistical significance. There's hardly anything more to say about critical value which can't be put there under a section explaining the difference between p-value and critical value.

The statistics and analysis meanings are unrelated and should be split. Geometry guy 00:42, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

A critical value has only 3 meanings

• a threshold
• a boundary in statistical hypothesis testing
• an image of a function in its critical point
