BETTER STATISTICS FOR BETTER DECISIONS: REJECTING NULL HYPOTHESES STATISTICAL TESTS IN FAVOR OF REPLICATION STATISTICS.

open access: yesPsychology in the schools (Print), 2007
Despite being under challenge for the past 50 years, null hypothesis significance testing (NHST) remains dominant in the scientific field for want of viable alternatives.

Replicated Spatial Point Pattern Analyses for Ecological Inference: A Tutorial Using the RSPPlme4 Package in R

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

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.

Beta Regression in R [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The class of beta regression models is commonly used by practitioners to model variables that assume values in the standard unit interval (0, 1). It is based on the assumption that the dependent variable is beta-distributed and that its mean is related ...

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 ...

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 ...

LZS bioactive glass-ceramic scaffolds: Colloidal processing, foam replication technique and mechanical properties to bone tissue engineering

open access: yesOpen Ceramics, 2022
Scaffolds are used in bone replacement because present biocompatibility, three-dimensional structure, and high porosity. However, despite the efforts, there are still significant barriers to the development of reliable, synthetic scaffolds to repair ...

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
