Reordering our priorities by putting phenomena before design : escaping the straitjacket of null hypothesis significance testing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
In this paper we reflect on two related questions. First, how have we arrived at a position where null hypothesis significance testing is the dominant criterion employed by quantitative researchers when deciding on whether or not a result is ‘significant’

A critical analysis of the role of statistical significance testing in education research: With special attention to mathematics education [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
This study analyzes the role of statistical significance testing (SST) in education. Although the basic logic underlying SST 一 a hypothesis is rejected because the observed data would be very unlikely if the hypothesis is true 一 appears so obvious that ...

DNA methylation and expression of MAPRE3 affect overall survival of early‐stage non‐small cell lung cancer patients

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Both cg12821679MAPRE3 methylation and MAPRE3 expression are significantly associated with overall survival (OS) of non‐small cell lung cancer. Meanwhile, MAPRE3 expression significantly modified the effect of smoking cessation on OS. Smoking cessation benefits OS merely for patients with high MAPRE3 expression.

Do psychology students interpret null hypothesis significance testing critically?

open access: yes, 2018
The goal of the study was to descriptively analyze the understanding of null hypothesis significance testing among Croatian psychology students considering how it is usually understood in textbooks, which is subject to Bayesian and interpretative ...

A method for parameter hypothesis testing in nonparametric regression with Fourier series approach

open access: yesMethodsX, 2023
Nonparametric regression model with the Fourier series approach was first introduced by Bilodeau in 1994. In the later years, several researchers developed a nonparametric regression model with the Fourier series approach.

Testing the null hypothesis: the forgotten legacy of Karl Popper? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Testing of the null hypothesis is a fundamental aspect of the scientific method and has its basis in the falsification theory of Karl Popper. Null hypothesis testing makes use of deductive reasoning to ensure that the truth of conclusions are irrefutable.

Loss of IGF‐1R impairs DNA‐PKcs recruitment to chromatin leading to defective end‐joining

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
IGF‐1R promotes radioresistance by facilitating DNA‐PKcs recruitment to chromatin, enabling non‐homologous end‐joining (NHEJ) repair of double‐strand breaks. Inhibition or loss of IGF‐1R disrupts this recruitment to damage sites, driving compensatory reliance on microhomology‐mediated end‐joining (MMEJ) repair.

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 ...

Significance, truth and proof of p values: reminders about common misconceptions regarding null hypothesis significance testing

open access: yes, 2014
Null hypothesis significance testing has successfully reduced the complexity of scientific inference to a dichotomous decision (i.e., 'reject' versus 'not reject').

A Review of Issues About Null Hypothesis Bayesian Testing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Null hypothesis significance testing (NHST) has been under scrutiny for decades. The literature shows overwhelming evidence of a large range of problems affecting NHST.
