NHST

Null Hypothesis Significance Testing. It's the backbone of statistical work as generally practiced. While the philosophical underpinnings are a topic upon which reasonable people may disagree, there's no denying that an awful lot of practical science has benefited from it. So, even though I think the technique is somewhat bogus, I've learned it and learned it well.

And, that's a good thing. Because it's pretty much the entirety of the last Stats chapter which I really don't have time to read before the Q.
