Continuous measures of confidence in direction of environmental trends at site and other spatial scales

open access: yesEnvironmental Challenges, 2022
Managers and decision makers need to know if variables measured by environmental monitoring programs are increasing or decreasing, both at individual sites and at larger spatial scales, and the degree of statistical support for these assessments ...

What Is the Ideal Time to Provide Corrective Feedback? An Approximate Replication of Li, Zhu, and Ellis (2016)

open access: yesLanguage Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract This replication study examines feedback timing in vocational language learners and verifies the hypothesis that the advantage of immediate over delayed feedback found in the original study (Li, Zhu, & Ellis, 2016) is due to practice opportunities in immediate feedback.

Statistical inferences under the Null hypothesis: Common mistakes and pitfalls in neuroimaging studies.

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2015
Published studies using functional and structural MRI include many errors in the way data are analyzed and conclusions reported. This was observed when working on a comprehensive review of the neural bases of synesthesia, but these errors are probably ...

False-positive and false-negative risks for individual multicentre trials in critical care

open access: yesBJA Open, 2022
Background: In medical research, null hypothesis significance testing (NHST) is the dominant framework for statistical inference. NHST involves calculating P-values and confidence intervals to quantify the evidence against the null hypothesis of no ...

Bayesian Estimation of True Prevalence and Associated Risk Factors for Leptospira spp. Among Slaughterhouse Workers and Slaughtered Cattle in the Bahr El Ghazal Region of South Sudan

open access: yesZoonoses and Public Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Leptospirosis is a major but under‐reported zoonotic disease, and epidemiological data from South Sudan remain limited. This study estimated the true prevalence of Leptospira spp. exposure and identified associated risk factors among slaughterhouse workers and slaughtered cattle in Western Bahr El Ghazal. Methods A cross‐sectional

A Tutorial on Conducting and Interpreting a Bayesian Independent T‐Test Using Open‐Source Software

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Nursing, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 3845-3858, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To demonstrate a worked‐out example of a Bayesian independent t‐test using open‐source software, simulated data, a hypothetical nurse education intervention and a randomised controlled study design. This tutorial explains relevant Bayesian concepts and highlights literature that provides statistically principled justifications for ...

Reduced vmPFC-insula functional connectivity in generalized anxiety disorder: a Bayesian confirmation study

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Differences in the correlated activity of networked brain regions have been reported in individuals with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) but an overreliance on null-hypothesis significance testing (NHST) limits the identification of disorder-relevant ...
