A Cautionary Note on Estimating Effect Size

P-Value demystified

Rediscovering a Little Known Fact about the t-test and the F-test: Algebraic, Geometric, Distributional and Graphical Considerations

Moving beyond traditional null hypothesis testing: Evaluating expectations directly

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2011
This mini-review illustrates that testing the traditional null hypothesis is not always the appropriate strategy. Half in jest, we discuss Aristotle’s scientific investigations into the shape of the earth in the context of evaluating the traditional null

open access: yesMathematics, 2020
Taking advantage of the possibility of fuzzy test statistic falling in the rejection region, a statistical hypothesis testing approach for fuzzy data is proposed in this study.

When and How to Interpret Null Results in NIBS: A Taxonomy Based on Prior Expectations and Experimental Design

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2018
Experiments often challenge the null hypothesis that an intervention, for instance application of non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS), has no effect on an outcome measure.

Negativity towards negative results: a discussion of the disconnect between scientific worth and scientific culture

open access: yesDisease Models & Mechanisms, 2014
Science is often romanticised as a flawless system of knowledge building, where scientists work together to systematically find answers. In reality, this is not always the case. Dissemination of results are straightforward when the findings are positive,
