Farewell to Bright-Line: A Guide to Reporting Quantitative Results Without the S-Word
Recent calls to end the practice of categorizing findings based on statistical significance have focused on what not to do. Practitioners who subscribe to the conceptual basis behind these calls may be unaccustomed to presenting results in the nuanced ...

Stochastic process computational modeling for learning research
The goal of our research was to compare and systematize several approaches to non-parametric null hypothesis significance testing using computer-based statistical modeling.

An Alternative to Null-Hypothesis Significance Tests [PDF]
The statistic Prep estimates the probability of replicating an effect. It captures traditional publication criteria for signal-to-noise ratio, while avoiding parametric inference and the resulting Bayesian dilemma. In concert with effect size and replication intervals, Prep provides all of the information now used in evaluating research, while ...

Manipulating the Alpha Level Cannot Cure Significance Testing
We argue that making accept/reject decisions on scientific hypotheses, including a recent call for changing the canonical alpha level from p = 0.05 to p = 0.005, is deleterious for the finding of new discoveries and the progress of science.

Biomedical research relies on proving (or disproving) a research hypothesis, and P value becomes a cornerstone of “null hypothesis significance testing.” P value is the maximum probability of getting the observed outcome by chance. For a statistical test

The Fallacy of the Null Hypothesis Significance Test [PDF]
The theory of probability and statistical inference is various things to various people. To the mathematician, it is an intricate formal calculus, to be explored and developed with little professional concern for any empirical significance that might attach to the terms and propositions involved.

A Review of Bayesian Hypothesis Testing and Its Practical Implementations
We discuss hypothesis testing and compare different theories in light of observed or experimental data as fundamental endeavors in the sciences. Issues associated with the p-value approach and null hypothesis significance testing are reviewed, and the ...
