Importance sampling is a common technique for Monte Carlo approximation, including that of p-values. Here it is shown that a simple correction of the usual importance sampling p-values provides valid p-values, meaning that a hypothesis test created by rejecting the null hypothesis when the...

Mathematical and statistical models have played important roles in neuroscience, especially by describing the electrical activity of neurons recorded individually, or collectively across large networks. As the field moves forward rapidly, new challenges are emerging. For maximal effectiveness,...
