  • Abstract
    In this paper, the reconcilability between the P-value and the posterior probability in testing a point null hypothesis against the one-sided hypothesis is considered. Two essential families, non regular and exponential family of distributions, are studied. It was shown in a non regular family of distributions; in some cases, it is possible to find a prior distribution function under which P-value and posterior probability are achieved. However, in the exponential family of distributions, this agreement is based on the complete monotonicity of a function of hazard rate.
