Inadequate reporting of statistical results.
TO THE EDITOR: In the first half of 2016 I was asked to review a manuscript for the Journal of Neurophysiology. Having reviewed only a handful of times for your journal, I started my review assignment by reading the Information for Authors and Information for Reviewers sections of your website. I noted that when preparing their manuscript, authors are encouraged to consult an editorial entitled...
متن کاملStatistical methods to correct for verification bias in diagnostic studies are inadequate when there are few false negatives: a simulation study
BACKGROUND A common feature of diagnostic research is that results for a diagnostic gold standard are available primarily for patients who are positive for the test under investigation. Data from such studies are subject to what has been termed "verification bias". We evaluated statistical methods for verification bias correction when there are few false negatives. METHODS A simulation study ...
متن کاملInformation-based Incentivisation when Rewards are Inadequate
In many cases, intermediaries play a major role in linking between service providers and their target users. Yet, attracting intermediaries at a marketplace to promote a service to their existing customers can be very challenging, since they are usually very busy and would incur additional cost as a result of such promotion. In response, this paper presents an information-based incentivisation ...
متن کاملHow Are Statistical Methods for Geometric Inference Justified?
This paper investigates the meaning of “statistical methods” for geometric inference based on image feature points. Tracing back the origin of feature uncertainty to image processing operations for computer vision in general, we discuss implications of asymptotic analysis in reference to “geometric fitting” and “geometric model selection”. For the latter, we point out the prominent characterist...
متن کاملImproved Statistical Methods are Needed to Advance Personalized Medicine.
Common methods of statistical analysis, e.g. Analysis of Variance and Discriminant Analysis, are not necessarily optimal in selecting therapy for an individual patient. These methods rely on group differences to identify markers for disease or successful interventions and ignore sub-group differences when the number of sub-groups is large. In these circumstances, they provide the same advice to...
