‘Open Statistics’: It’s All Happening in Italy
I knew good things were happening at the University of Bologna this (northern) summer. Now I know the details. The brochure is here, and this is part of the title page: What do they mean by ‘Open Statistics’? As I…
Judging Replicability: Fiona’s repliCATS Project
Judging Replicability Whenever we read a research article we almost certainly form a judgment of its believability. To what extent is it plausible? To what extent could it be replicated? What are the chances that the findings are true? What…
Moving to a World Beyond “p < 0.05”
The 43 articles in The American Statistician discussing what researchers should do in a “post p<.05” world are now online. See here for a list of them all, with links to each article. The collection starts with an editorial: Go…
Joining the fractious debate over how to do science best
At the end of the month (March 2019) the American Statistical Association will publish a special issue on statistical inference “after p values”. The goal of the issue is to focus on the statistical “dos” rather than statistical “don’ts”. Across…
Sizing up behavioral neuroscience – a meta-analysis of the fear-conditioning literature
Inadequate sample sizes are kryptonite to good science–they produce waste, spurious results, and inflated effect sizes. Doing science with an inadequate sample is worse than doing nothing. In the neurosciences, large-scale surveys of the literature show that inadequate sample sizes…
Internal Meta-Analysis: The Latest
I recently wrote in favour of internal meta-analysis, which refers to m-a that integrates evidence from two or more studies on more-or-less the same question, all coming from the same lab and perhaps reported in a single article. The post…
Abandon Statistical Significance!
That’s the title of a paper accepted for publication in The American Statistician. (I confess that I added the “!”) The paper is here. Scroll down below to see the abstract. The paper boasts an interdisciplinary team of authors, including…
Open Science DownUnder: Simine Comes to Town
A week or two ago Simine Vazire was in town. Fiona Fidler organised a great Open Science jamboree to celebrate. The program is here and a few of the sets of slides are here. Simine on the credibility revolution First…
Help finding a paper:
I have a vague memory of a study that looked at brain correlates of PTSD, Autism, or ADHD, testing findings from small studies against a large dataset. Found few held up. Thought I had it bookmarked, now can't find it.
Anyone have an idea?

New Stats blog: Good Science Requires Unceasing Explanation and Advocacy https://t.co/2DHqs7MCbw
Linking brain function to genetics is difficult: a failed replication of a prominent linkage and a wise post-mortem suggesting better ways forward. Kudos to @SfNJournals for publishing the strong contribution.
