Null hypothesis significance testing is a commonly used tool for making statistical inferences in empirical studies, but its use has always been controversial. In this manuscript, I argue that even more problematic testing, and other abstract benchmarks, often are as tools interpreting study data. This because data requires domain knowledge of the scientific topic sensitivity to context, someth...

the aim of this study was to compare the effect of self-control, frequent and reduced feedback of kr on children's learning skill of throw targeting in aleshtar city. for this purpose, 60 subjects were selected and assigned through step-by-step random method to three groups of self-control, frequent, and reduced. they performed the task of targeting through throwing in two steps of acquisi...

Valid, prior-free, and situation-specific probabilistic inference is desirable for serious uncertain inference, especially in bio-medical statistics. This chapter∗ introduces such an inferential system, called the Inferential Model (IM) framework, proposed recently. IMs do not require a prior to be specified, yet they produce probabilistic inferential results that have desireable frequency prop...

Computerized lessons that reflect stimulus equivalence principles were used to teach college students concepts related to inferential statistics and hypothesis decision making. Lesson 1 taught participants concepts related to inferential statistics, and Lesson 2 taught them to base hypothesis decisions on a scientific hypothesis and the direction of an effect. Lesson 3 taught the conditional in...
