Why most discovered true associations are inflated.
Newly discovered true (non-null) associations often have inflated effects compared with the true effect sizes. I discuss here the main reasons for this inflation.

This has ...

In particular, I argue that computational complexity theory—the field that studies the resources (such as time, space, and randomness) needed to solve computational pro...
متن کاملWhy is Mind Wandering Interesting for Philosophers ?
This chapter explores points of contact between philosophy of mind and scientific approaches to spontaneous thought. While offering a series of conceptual instruments that might prove helpful for researchers on the empirical research frontier, it begins by asking what the explanandum for theories of mind wandering is, how one can conceptually individuate single occurrences of this specific targ...
