Statistical testing in a Linear Probability Space.

Imagine that you could calculate of posttest probabilities, i.e. Bayes theorem with simple addition. This is possible if we stop thinking of probabilities as ranging from 0 to 1.0. There is a naturally occurring linear probability space when data are transformed into the logarithm of the odds ratio (log10 odds). In this space, probabilities are replaced by W (Weight) where W=log10(probability/(1-probability)). I would like to argue the multiple benefits of performing statistical testing in a linear probability space: 1) Statistical testing is accurate in linear probability space but not in other spaces. 2) Effect size is called Impact (I) and is the difference in means between two treatments (I=Wmean2-Wmean1). 3) Bayes theorem is simply Wposttest=Wpretest+Itest. 4) Significance (p value) is replaced by Certainty (C) which is the W of the p value. Methods to transform data into and out of linear probability space are described.
