Pseudoreplication in Phonetic Research
نویسنده
چکیده
This methodological paper attempts to bring the problem of pseudoreplication to the attention of the phonetic community. Pseudoreplication refers to the treatment of dependent observations as independent data points, which causes an overabundance of erroneously significant results. The relevance of this problem is demonstrated by analyses of phonetic data, and it is shown that the problem occurs frequently in the phonetic literature. Finally, simple solutions to combat pseudoreplication in the design and analysis of phonetic experiments are proposed.

Pseudoreplication is a pseudoproblem.
Pseudoreplication is one of the most influential methodological issues in ecological and animal behavior research today. At its inception, the idea of pseudoreplication highlighted important concerns about the design and analysis of experiments in ecology. The doctrine purported to provide a unified view of experimental design and analysis, wherein precise criteria could be used to assess manus...
متن کاملAn entomologist guide to demystify pseudoreplication: data analysis of field studies with design constraints.
Lack of independence, or pseudoreplication, in samples from ecological studies of insects reflects the complexity of working with living organisms: the finite and limited input of individuals, their relatedness (ecological and/or genetic), and the need to group organisms into functional experimental units to estimate population parameters (e.g., cohort replicates). Several decades ago, when the...
متن کاملRemedies for pseudoreplication
Pseudoreplication is the failure of a statistical analysis to properly incorporate the true structure of randomness present in the data. It has been well documented and studied in the ecological literature but has received little attention in the fisheries literature. Avoiding pseudoreplication in analyses of fisheries data can be difficult due to the complexity of the statistical procedures re...
متن کاملPseudoreplication is (still) a problem.
Hurlbert (1984) laid out a rationale for why experimental designs need to consider statistical problems related to pseudoreplication of data. This paper has been a cornerstone for more proper experimental design in many fields. Nonetheless, Schank and Koehnle (2009) argue that pseudoreplication is no longer a relevant issue. We disagree with this conclusion. We list a number of distortions of t...
متن کاملPseudoreplication conventions are testable hypotheses.
Hurlbert's conceptions of pseudoreplication, such as the loss of independent replicates with repeated sampling over time and the lack of appropriate spatial interspersion of experimental units to achieve statistical independence, are really theoretical hypotheses that warrant empirical confirmation or disconfirmation. Schank and Koehnle have provided a valuable service to researchers in ecology...
