Of particular interest is part 3, which has a very good explanation of why frequetism shouldn&#x27;t be used in science.<p><pre><code>    Let me say it directly: you should be suspicious of the use of frequentist
    confidence intervals and p-values in science. In a scientific setting,
    confidence intervals, and closely-related p-values, provide the correct
    answer to the wrong question.</code></pre>
