An alternative to null-hypothesis significance tests.
The statistic p(rep) estimates the probability of replicating an effect. It captures traditional publication criteria for signal-to-noise ratio, while avoiding parametric inference and the resulting Bayesian dilemma. In concert with effect size and replication intervals, p(rep) provides all of the information now used in evaluating research, while avoiding many of the pitfalls of traditional st...
متن کاملNull hypothesis significance testing: a short tutorial
Although thoroughly criticized, null hypothesis significance testing (NHST) remains the statistical method of choice used to provide evidence for an effect, in biological, biomedical and social sciences. In this short tutorial, I first summarize the concepts behind the method, distinguishing test of significance (Fisher) and test of acceptance (Newman-Pearson) and point to common interpretation...

The procedure has been criticized on several grounds. Firstly, opponents have attacked the procedure itself, claiming that it either does not tell the researcher what he or she wants to know; and/or that the procedure is not logically valid. S...
متن کاملImpact of criticism of null-hypothesis significance testing on statistical reporting practices in conservation biology.
Over the last decade, criticisms of null-hypothesis significance testing have grown dramatically, and several alternative practices, such as confidence intervals, information theoretic, and Bayesian methods, have been advocated. Have these calls for change had an impact on the statistical reporting practices in conservation biology? In 2000 and 2001, 92% of sampled articles in Conservation Biol...
متن کاملOn the Past and Future of Null Hypothesis Significance Testing
s and found the inclusion of effect sizes led readers to overestimate the importance of research results. We suspect that while effect sizes are often an important facet of an experiment, sometimes they may not be and that the authors (with editorial guidance) may be the ones best suited to choose both when and what type of effect size information ought
