The author compares, in the context of a class of significance tests, Deborah Mayo's notion of evidence, which is based on severity (Mayo 1996, 2004, 2010, 2011) to Bill Thompson's bivariate notion of evidence (Thompson 2007), which is based on significativity. He concludes in favor of the severity-based approach.
