We introduce a neutral statistic S that makes the Conditional Frequentist error reports identical to Bayesian posterior probabilities of the hypotheses. In symmetrical cases we can show this strategy to be optimal from the Frequentist perspective. A Conditional Frequentist who uses such a strategy can exploit the consistency of the method with the Likelihood Principle—for example, the validity ...

Predictive developmental hypotheses play a crucial role in developmental theories. These hypotheses link early developmental behaviors or processes to later developmental outcomes. Empirical tests of predictive developmental hypotheses are generally based on standard regression models. It is argued that hierarchical linear models or longitudinal multilevel models offer a better alternative. A m...
