Conservative Hypothesis Tests and Confidence Intervals using Importance Sampling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Importance sampling is a common technique for Monte Carlo approximation, including Monte Carlo approximation of p-values. Here it is shown that a simple correction of the usual importance sampling p-values creates valid p-values, meaning that a ...

Providing Evidence for the Null Hypothesis in Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Using Group-Level Bayesian Inference

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroinformatics, 2021
Classical null hypothesis significance testing is limited to the rejection of the point-null hypothesis; it does not allow the interpretation of non-significant results. This leads to a bias against the null hypothesis.

What might judgment and decision making research be like if we took a Bayesian approach to hypothesis testing?

open access: yesJudgment and Decision Making, 2011
Judgment and decision making research overwhelmingly uses null hypothesis significance testing as the basis for statistical inference. This article examines an alternative, Bayesian approach which emphasizes the choice between two competing hypotheses ...

On the Influence of Religious Assumptions in Statistical Methods Used in Science

open access: yesReligions, 2020
For several centuries, statistical testing has been used to support evolutionary theories. Given the diverse origins and applications of these tests, it is remarkable how consistent they are.

An Alternative to Null-Hypothesis Significance Tests [PDF]

open access: yesPsychological Science, 2005
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 ...

Searching for Significance in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning and Finding None: Understanding Non-Significant Results

open access: yesTeaching & Learning Inquiry: The ISSOTL Journal, 2016
Quantitative results from empirical studies are common in the field of Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL), but it is important to remain aware of what the results from our studies can, and cannot, tell us. Oftentimes studies conducted to examine

Significance testing in quantile regression [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We consider the problem of testing significance of predictors in multivariate nonparametric quantile regression. A stochastic process is proposed, which is based on a comparison of the responses with a nonparametric quantile regression estimate under the
