This is a mostly philosophical discussion of approaches to statistical hypothesis testing, including p-values, classical frequentist testing, Bayesian testing, and conditional frequentist testing. We also briefly discuss the issue of multiplicity, an issue of increasing concern in discovery. The article concludes with some musings concerning what it means to be a frequentist.
