Statistical Significance Tests are Unnecessary Even When Properly Done and Properly Interpreted: Reply to Commentaries

The three commentators on my paper agree that statistical tests are often improperly used by researchers and that even when properly used, readers misinterpret them. These points have been well established by empirical studies. However, two of the commentators do not agree with my major point that significance tests are unnecessary even when properly used and interpreted. Comments Postprint ver...

Properly Ergodic Structures

We study ergodic Sym(N)-invariant probability measures on the space of L-structures with domain N. We call such measures “ergodic structures”. In particular, we are interested in the properly ergodic case, in which no isomorphism class has measure 1. A Morley–Scott analysis shows that proper ergodicity can always be explained by a splitting of measure over continuum-many types in a countable fr...
