Significance tests: Necessary but not sufficient
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 21 (2):221-222 (1998)
| Abstract | Chow (1996) offers a reconceptualization of statistical significance that is reasoned and comprehensive. Despite a somewhat rough presentation, his arguments are compelling and deserve to be taken seriously by the scientific community. It is argued that his characterization of literal replication, types of research, effect size, and experimental control are in need of revision. | |||||||||
