Abstract
A broad review is given of the role of statistical significance tests in the analysis of empirical data. Four main types of application are outlined. The first, conceptually quite different from the others, concerns decision making in such contexts as medical screening and industrial inspection. The others assess the security of conclusions. The article concludes with an outline discussion of some more specialized points.
