Leveraging Genomic Annotations and Pleiotropic Enrichment for Improved Replication Rates in Schizophrenia GWAS. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2016 Most of the genetic architecture of schizophrenia (SCZ) has not yet been identified. Here, we apply a novel statistical algorithm called Covariate-Modulated Mixture Modeling (CM3), which incorporates auxiliary information (heterozygosity, total linkage ...

Frontiers in Psychology, 2023 ObjectiveMuch of psychological research has suffered from small sample sizes and low statistical power, resulting in unstable parameter estimates. The Bayesian approach offers a promising solution by incorporating prior knowledge into statistical models,

A statistical definition for reproducibility and replicability [PDF]
, 2016 AbstractEveryone agrees that reproducibility and replicability are fundamental characteristics of scientific studies. These topics are attracting increasing attention, scrutiny, and debate both in the popular press and the scientific literature. But there are no formal statistical definitions for these concepts, which leads to confusion since the same ...

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022 The analysis of spatial point patterns has greatly advanced our understanding of ecological processes. However, the methods currently available for analyzing replicated spatial point patterns (RSPPs) are rarely used by ecologists.

Replication to assess statistical adequacy [PDF]
Economics, 2018 Abstract‘Statistical adequacy’ is an important prerequisite for securing reliable inference in empirical modelling. This paper argues for more emphasis on replication that specifically assesses whether the results reported in empirical studies are based on statistically adequate models, i.e., models with valid underpinning statistical assumptions that ...

A New Standard for the Analysis and Design of Replication Studies [PDF]
Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, Series A, 183, 431-448,
2020, 2018 A new standard is proposed for the evidential assessment of replication studies. The approach combines a specific reverse-Bayes technique with prior-predictive tail probabilities to define replication success. The method gives rise to a quantitative measure for replication success, called the sceptical p-value.

Conceptualizing and Evaluating Replication Across Domains of Behavioral Research [PDF]
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 2018, Vol. 41, e120, 40-41, 2018 We discuss the authors' conceptualization of replication, in particular the false dichotomy of direct versus conceptual replication intrinsic to it, and suggest a broader one that better generalizes to other domains of psychological research. We also discuss their approach to the evaluation of replication results and suggest moving beyond their ...

Is spacing really the friend of induction?
Frontiers in Psychology, 2014 Inductive learning takes place when people learn a new concept or category by observing a variety of exemplars. Kornell and Bjork (2008) asked participants to learn new painting styles either by presenting different paintings of the same artist ...
