Valid inferences from invalid tests?
I read with interest the remarks of Reuben J. Silver, which were published in the November 2001 issue of the American Psychologist on the occasion of his receiving the Award for Distinguished Contributions to Applied Psychology as a Professional Practice. Silver took the opportunity to delineate his approach to the practice of professional psychology. He described a perspective that combines an...
متن کاملWhen Are Inferences from Multiple Imputation Valid?
Multiple imputation, as described by Rubin, has seen a wide variety of applications. Counterexamples, presented by Fay (1991), and new methods, such as those of J.N.K. Rao and J. Shao, that can asymptotically disagree with the multiple imputation approach, have raised questions about the validity of multiple imputation. This paper identifies critical restrictions on the practical application of...
متن کاملDrawing inferences from Fano factor calculations.
An important characterization of neural spiking is the ratio of the variance to the mean of the spike counts in a set of intervals--the Fano factor. For a Poisson process, the theoretical Fano factor is exactly one. For simulated or experimental neural data, the sample Fano factor is never exactly one, but often appears close to one. In this short communication, we characterize the distribution...
متن کاملPromoting the drawing of inferences in collaboration: insights from two experimental studies
Collaborative problem-solving tasks often require learners to co-construct new knowledge by drawing inferences from distributed information. We investigated the impact of information distribution and instructional support on university students’ collaboration in such tasks. Two experiments using specifically designed tasks show a robust negative effect of distributed information on inferences. ...
متن کاملComparing personal trajectories and drawing causal inferences from longitudinal data.
This review considers statistical analysis of data from studies that obtain repeated measures on each of many participants. Such studies aim to describe the average change in populations and to illuminate individual differences in trajectories of change. A person-specific model for the trajectory of each participant is viewed as the foundation of any analysis having these aims. A second, betwee...
