Reply to Veresoglou: Overdependence on "significance" testing in biology.
In PNAS, we explore the effects of interacting global change factors on the functioning of decomposer communities and show how biotic interactions influence the strength of soil carbon feedbacks to climate change (1). Veresoglou (2) highlights that the highly interactive nature of our multifactor experiment can increase the likelihood of type I errors (i.e., “false positives”), an effect that h...
متن کاملImpact of criticism of null-hypothesis significance testing on statistical reporting practices in conservation biology.
Over the last decade, criticisms of null-hypothesis significance testing have grown dramatically, and several alternative practices, such as confidence intervals, information theoretic, and Bayesian methods, have been advocated. Have these calls for change had an impact on the statistical reporting practices in conservation biology? In 2000 and 2001, 92% of sampled articles in Conservation Biol...
متن کاملOverdependence on degraded gist memory in Alzheimer's disease.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) reduces associative effects on false recognition in the Deese-Roediger-McDermott task, either due to impaired memory for gist or impaired use of gist in memory decisions. Gist processes were manipulated by blocking or mixing studied words according to their associations and by varying the associative strength between studied and nonstudied words at test. Both associativ...
متن کاملREPLY Testing the Storm
Rouder, Morey, and Province (2013) stated that (a) the evidence-based case for psi in Storm, Tressoldi, and Di Risio’s (2010) meta-analysis is supported only by a number of studies that used manual randomization, and (b) when these studies are excluded so that only investigations using automatic randomization are evaluated (and some additional studies previously omitted by Storm et al., 2010, a...
