On the Importance of Modeling the Invisible World of Underlying Effect Sizes
The headline findings from the Open Science Collaboration (2015)―namely, that 36% of original experiments replicated at p < .05, with the overall replication effect sizes being half as large as the original effects―cannot be meaningfully interpreted ...

Is There a Free Lunch in Inference? [PDF]
The field of psychology, including cognitive science, is vexed by a crisis of confidence. Although the causes and solutions are varied, we focus here on a common logical problem in inference.

Problemification: Over-reliance on null hypothesis significance testing (NHST) is one of the most important causes of the emerging crisis over the credibility and reproducibility of our science.

Danger: High Power! – Exploring the Statistical Properties of a Test for Random Forest Variable Importance [PDF]
Random forests have become a widely-used predictive model in many scientific disciplines within the past few years. Additionally, they are increasingly popular for assessing variable importance, e.g., in genetics and bioinformatics.

Null Hypothesis Significance Testing: A Brief Review
Null hypothesis significance testing (NHST) dominates the interpretation of quantitative data analysis in education, psychology, and other social science fields (Shaver, 1993). Meanwhile, the use of NHST has been under enduring and intense criticisms (Carver, 1978; Cohen, 1997; Cumming, 2013; Thompson, 1993, 1996, 1999). In 2015, the journal, Basic and

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

This study reveals how the mitochondrial protein Slm35 is regulated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The authors identify stress‐responsive DNA elements and two upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in the 5′ untranslated region of SLM35. One uORF restricts translation, and its mutation increases Slm35 protein levels and mitophagy.

Philosophical Preconditions Guide Null Hypothesis Significance Testing in Empirical Psychology
To mathematize is closely related to the ideal of scientific objectivity, claiming bias-free results. In this respect, mathematization may substantiate the belief that significance testing could prove or disprove a hypothesis, since it is considered bias-

Unsupervised empirical Bayesian multiple testing with external covariates
In an empirical Bayesian setting, we provide a new multiple testing method, useful when an additional covariate is available, that influences the probability of each null hypothesis being true.

Combining PTEN protein assessment and transcriptomic profiling of prostate tumors, we uncovered a network enriched in senescence and extracellular matrix (ECM) programs associated with PTEN loss and conserved in a mouse model. We show that PTEN‐deficient cells trigger paracrine remodeling of the surrounding stroma and this information could help ...
