A new standard for the analysis and design of replication studies [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Statistical Society: Series A (Statistics in Society), 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.

Improving the stability of bivariate correlations using informative Bayesian priors: a Monte Carlo simulation study

open access: yesFrontiers 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,

Is spacing really the friend of induction?

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Implications of “too good to be true” for replication, theoretical claims, and experimental design: An example using prominent studies of racial bias

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2016
In response to concerns about the validity of empirical findings in psychology, some scientists use replication studies as a way to validate good science and to identify poor science.

Next steps after airing disagreement on a scientific issue with policy implications: a meta-analysis, multi-lab replication and adversarial collaboration

open access: yesBMC Biology, 2023
Canadian policymakers are interested in determining whether farmed Atlantic salmon, frequently infected with Piscine orthoreovirus (PRV), may threaten wild salmon populations in the Pacific Northwest.

Exploring the phenotypic consequences of tissue specific gene expression variation inferred from GWAS summary statistics

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
Scalable, integrative methods to understand mechanisms that link genetic variants with phenotypes are needed. Here we derive a mathematical expression to compute PrediXcan (a gene mapping approach) results using summary data (S-PrediXcan) and show its ...

Modification of episodic memories by novel learning: a failed replication study

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Psychotraumatology, 2017
Background: After reactivation, memories can become unstable and sensitive to modification before they are restored into long-term memory. Using behavioural manipulations, reactivated memories may be disrupted via the mechanism of interference (i.e ...

“Voodoo” Science in Neuroimaging: How a Controversy Transformed into a Crisis

open access: yesSocial Sciences, 2022
Since the 1990s, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) techniques have continued to advance, which has led researchers and non specialists alike to regard this technique as infallible.

Mendelian randomization study of causal link from gut microbiota to colorectal cancer

open access: yesBMC Cancer, 2022
Recent studies have shown the relevance of gut microbiota in the occurrence and development of colorectal cancer (CRC), but the causal relationship remains unclear in the human population. The present study aims to assess the causal relationship from the

Statistical Rituals: The Replication Delusion and How We Got There

open access: yesAdvances in Methods and Practices in Psychological Science, 2018
The “replication crisis” has been attributed to misguided external incentives gamed by researchers (the strategic-game hypothesis). Here, I want to draw attention to a complementary internal factor, namely, researchers’ widespread faith in a statistical ...
