A statistical definition for reproducibility and replicability [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

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.

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,

Z-Curve.2.0: Estimating Replication Rates and Discovery Rates

open access: yesMeta-Psychology, 2020
This article introduces z-curve.2.0 as a method that estimates the expected replication rate (ERR) and the expected discovery rate (EDR) based on the test-statistics of studies selected for significance.

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.

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.

Conceptualizing and Evaluating Replication Across Domains of Behavioral Research [PDF]

open access: yesBehavioral 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?

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
