Hypothesis-Testing Demands Trustworthy Data—A Simulation Approach to Inferential Statistics Advocating the Research Program Strategy

Frontiers in Psychology, 2018
In psychology as elsewhere, the main statistical inference strategy to establish empirical effects is null-hypothesis significance testing (NHST). The recent failure to replicate allegedly well-established NHST-results, however, implies that such results

Bayesian alternatives to null hypothesis significance testing in biomedical research: a non-technical introduction to Bayesian inference with JASP

BMC Medical Research Methodology, 2020
Background Although null hypothesis significance testing (NHST) is the agreed gold standard in medical decision making and the most widespread inferential framework used in medical research, it has several drawbacks.

Bayesian alternatives for common null-hypothesis significance tests in psychiatry: a non-technical guide using JASP

BMC Psychiatry, 2018
Background Despite its popularity as an inferential framework, classical null hypothesis significance testing (NHST) has several restrictions. Bayesian analysis can be used to complement NHST, however, this approach has been underutilized largely due to ...

Handgrip Strength and Its Relationship with White Blood Cell Count in U.S. Adolescents

Biology, 2021
Background: The role of muscular fitness (as a protecting factor for an optimal immune system) and WBC count remains unclear. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to investigate the relationship between the total count of WBC and groups ...

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

Environmental 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 ...

Canadian boreal restored mining sites sustain diverse pollinator communities, including species of conservation concern

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Revegetated mine tailing storage facilities support pollinator abundance, diversity, richness and evenness comparable to recently logged boreal forest sites. Agronomic and spontaneous revegetation strategies host similar pollinator and Bombus community structures, indicating multiple rehabilitation approaches can effectively restore pollinator habitat.

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

Language 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.

Frontiers 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 ...
