Null hypothesis significance testing vs. Bayesian inference using generalized linear mixed models with binary outcomes: a case study under practical design constraints [PDF]
Empirical investigation requires dealing with fundamental uncertainty. In experimental psychology, research questions are often addressed using Null Hypothesis Significance Testing (NHST), an approach rooted in the frequentist statistical tradition.

There are no alternative hypotheses in tests of null hypotheses [PDF]
Null hypothesis statistical testing (NHST) is typically taught by first posing a null hypothesis and an alternative hypothesis. This conception is sadly erroneous as there is no alternative hypothesis in the NHST.

Inferential statistics are typically reported using p-values (NHST) or confidence intervals on effect sizes (estimation). This is done using a range of styles, but some readers have preferences about how statistics should be presented and others have limited familiarity with alternatives.

Critical-Network Lesion-Symptom Mapping. [PDF]
We introduce Critical‐Network Lesion‐Symptom Mapping (CN‐LSM), an atlas‐based approach that uses ensemble modeling and out‐of‐sample prediction to identify brain networks supporting behavior in stroke patients. CN‐LSM outperforms standard multivariate methods in ground‐truth recovery while delivering interpretable, low‐dimensional results with fewer ...

Beyond the p Value Dichotomy: Alternatives for Statistical Inference-A Critical Review. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Rationale The p value has long been used as the primary criterion for statistical significance; however, its dichotomous interpretation has been increasingly criticized for oversimplifying uncertainty and distorting scientific inference, particularly in health and sports sciences.

Trends in null hypothesis significance testing: Still going strong [PDF]
Null hypothesis significance testing (NHST) is among the most prominent and widely used methods for analyzing data. At the same time, NHST has been criticized since many years because of misuses and misconceptions that can be found extensively in the ...

Ruling out that there is absolutely no effect or association between variables may be a good first step, but it is rarely the ultimate goal of science. Yet that is the only inference provided by traditional null hypothesis significance testing (NHST), which has been a mainstay of many scientific fields.

Effectiveness and Safety of Nasal Herbal Steam Therapy for Post-Extubation Respiratory Symptoms: A Methodology of Pragmatic Randomized Controlled, Parallel Grouped Study [PDF]
Post-extubastion respiratory symptoms (PERS) are a common sequelae of endotracheal intubation, impeding postoperative recovery. Despite the widespread use of prophylactic corticosteroids and symptomatic management, these approaches have limitations in ...

The psychological reality of the learned “p < .05” boundary [PDF]
The .05 boundary within Null Hypothesis Statistical Testing (NHST) “has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move” (to quote Douglas Adams).
