It Does Not Follow: Evaluating the One-Off Publication Bias Critiques by Francis (2012a, 2012b, 2012c, 2012d, 2012e, in press).

چکیده
Francis (2012a, 2012b, 2012c, 2012d, 2012e, in press) attacks individual papers through critiques that apply faulty logic to analyses ironically biased by cherry picking. However well intentioned, the critiques are probably counterproductive to their stipulated goal and certainly unfair to the targeted authors.

Checking the counterarguments confirms that publication bias contaminated studies relating social class and unethical behavior
The analysis in Francis (2012c) was a modification of an approach proposed by Ioannidis and Trikalinos (2007). The basic argument was that the power values for the experiments in Piff et al. (2012a) were usually (with one exception) close to 0.5, so the probability that all seven experiments would reject the null hypothesis was so small that one doubted that the experiments were run properly an...
متن کاملFollow the argument where it leads: Simonsohn’s criticisms on publication bias critiques are unfounded
Simonsohn (2012) argued that my recent publication bias critiques (Francis, 2012a,b,c,d,e,f, in press) are invalid. We both investigate consistency within a set of reported statistical findings to determine whether reported data are valid. Simonsohn recently analyzed cases where authors appeared to be fraudulently manipulating their data (Yong, 2012a,b), while I have focused on cases where publ...

I discuss points of agreement and disagreement with Francis (2013), and argue that the main lesson from his numerous one-off publication bias critiques is that developers of new statistical tools ought to anticipate their potential misuses and develop safeguards to prevent them. © 2013 Elsevier Inc.

At the same time, these devices and...
متن کاملEstimating Poverty and Inequality from Micro Data with Multiple Sources of Survey Error∗
Univariate estimates of poverty and inequality from income micro data are frequently plagued by multiple sources of survey error that affect both estimation and inference of parameters of interest. Observable forms of survey error include coarse data, processing error and measurement error. This paper builds on earlier work by Daniels (2012a, 2012b and 2012c) to include an explicit treatment of...
