The new normal? Redaction bias in biomedical science
A concerning amount of biomedical research is not reproducible. Unreliable results impede empirical progress in medical science, ultimately putting patients at risk.

Probabilistic model based on circular statistics for quantifying coverage depth dynamics originating from DNA replication [PDF]
Background With the development of DNA sequencing technology, static omics profiling in microbial communities, such as taxonomic and functional gene composition determination, has become possible.

Replication of "null results" -- Absence of evidence or evidence of absence? [PDF]
In several large-scale replication projects, statistically non-significant results in both the original and the replication study have been interpreted as a "replication success". Here we discuss the logical problems with this approach: Non-significance in both studies does not ensure that the studies provide evidence for the absence of an effect and ...

A Semi-Static Replication Method for Bermudan Swaptions under an Affine Multi-Factor Model
We present a semi-static replication algorithm for Bermudan swaptions under an affine, multi-factor term structure model. In contrast to dynamic replication, which needs to be continuously updated as the market moves, a semi-static replication needs to ...

The assessment of replication success based on relative effect size [PDF]
Replication studies are increasingly conducted in order to confirm original findings. However, there is no established standard how to assess replication success and in practice many different approaches are used. The purpose of this paper is to refine and extend a recently proposed reverse-Bayes approach for the analysis of replication studies.

An Empirical Bayes Mixture Model for Effect Size Distributions in Genome-Wide Association Studies. [PDF]
Characterizing the distribution of effects from genome-wide genotyping data is crucial for understanding important aspects of the genetic architecture of complex traits, such as number or proportion of non-null loci, average proportion of phenotypic ...

New Statistical Metrics for Multisite Replication Projects [PDF]
SummaryIncreasingly, researchers are attempting to replicate published original studies by using large, multisite replication projects, at least 134 of which have been completed or are on going. These designs are promising to assess whether the original study is statistically consistent with the replications and to reassess the strength of evidence for
