Making meaningful inferences about magnitudes.
A study of a sample provides only an estimate of the true (population) value of an outcome statistic. A report of the study therefore usually includes an inference about the true value. Traditionally, a researcher makes an inference by declaring the value of the statistic statistically significant or nonsignificant on the basis of a P value derived from a null-hypothesis test. This approach is ...
متن کاملMaking Inferences about Parameters
One must know the sampling distribution of the estimator (the statistic used to estimate I shall use to stand for the statistic used to estimate ) to make full use of the estimator. The sampling distribution of a statistic is the distribution that would be obtained if you repeatedly drew samples of a specified size from a specified population and computed on each sample. In other wo...
متن کاملMaking inferences about muscle forces from clinical observations.
The analysis of movement dysfunction often requires that inferences be made about the muscle forces which occur during motor task performance. Physiotherapists probably use a range of different models of analysis to make inferences about such forces. These models differ in the degree to which they invoke simplifying assumptions about the non-muscle forces acting on body segments. In some circum...
متن کاملReasoning counterfactually: making inferences about things that didn't happen.
The authors investigated the relationship between reasoners' understanding of subjunctive conditionals (e.g., if p had happened, then q would have happened) and the inferences they were prepared to endorse. Reasoners who made a counterfactual interpretation of subjunctive statements (i.e., they judged the statement to imply that p and q did not happen) endorsed different inferences than those w...
متن کاملInference about magnitudes of effects.
In a recent commentary on statistical inference, Batterham and Hopkins advocated an approach to statistical inference centered on expressions of uncertainty in parameters. After criticizing an approach to statistical inference driven by null hypothesis testing, they proposed a method of "magnitude-based" inference and then claimed that this approach is essentially Bayesian but with no prior ass...
