TL;DR
This tutorial summarizes some of the widely known limitations of tests of statistical significance and then focuses on extracting measures of variation accounted for as a supplement to significance testing.
Abstract
This tutorial summarizes some of the widely known limitations of tests of statistical significance and then focuses on extracting measures of variation accounted for as a supplement to significance testing. Computation details are presented for research consumers. Some cautions in interpreting these measures are also reviewed.

Sapolsky (1964) developed the following substantive theory: Some psychiatric patients entertain an unconscious belief in the "cloacal theory of birth" which involves the notions of oral impregnation and anal parturition, which led Sapolsky to predict that Rorschach frog responders show.

To the experimental scientist, statistical inference is a research instrument, a processing device by which unwieldy masses of raw data may be refined into a product more suitable for assimilation into the corpus of science, and in this lies both strength and weakness.

The view taken in this paper is that such tests play an important but nevertheless strictly limited role in the critical analysis of data and should be separated from critical discussion of the underlying concepts.

It is argued that the primary function of statistical tests in science is neither to decide how to behave nor to assign measures of evidential strength to hypotheses, and a reinterpretation of a commonly used orthodox test is proposed to make this learning model of tests explicit.

The crux of the argument is that by being able to objectively control error frequencies NPT is able to evaluate what has or has not been learned from the result of a statistical test, and provides an objective theory of statistics.
