#346 Jeffreys-Lindley paradox

Thoughts: I like this short explanation of the "paradox" of why frequentist and bayesian inference can differ.

#337 Confidence intervals and tests are two sides of the same research question

Thoughts: Comment describing the connection between NHST p-values/test and Confidence Intervals (CI).

What’s your take?

Are you still holding onto Bayesian priors, or are you ready to bin it?

#289 The meaning of significance in data testing

Thoughts: Fisherian significance testing =/= Neyman-Pearson statistical hypothesis testing. Many debates on p-values and frequentist stats are due to this confusion.

#287 Dance of the p Values

Thoughts: One of my go-to demonstrations for the variability of p-values, and why they say so little about a study.

People who insist that #bayesian methods are trash are just as weird as those who insist that #frequentist methods are always misleading. Stop pinning your personal identities to methods, friends.

#270 Seeing Theory: Frequentist Inference

Thoughts: Are you learning about NHST? Are you a visual learner? This might be for you.

I expect a Nobel Prize for Peace (!) will be awarded to that Mathematician who creates a statistical framework unifying frequentist and Bayesian statistics.

#182 P-values as percentiles

Thoughts: "The percentile heuristic is a more accurate model [] for interpreting observed p-values."

OK, I'm going to have to recalibrate my brain for a few weeks.

"Bayesian yacht sinking" just activates way too many nodes in my brain.

How would a Bayesian sink a yacht?

What is the most #Bayesian method of sinking a yacht? How does it differ from #Frequentist methods?

What are the yacht-sinking priors?

#96 Frequentist statistical inference without repeated sampling

Thoughts: Finite frequentism or Hypothetical frequentism? Which provides more insights? Should be interpret observed CIs and p-values?

#90 Improving the utility of non-significant results [...]

Thoughts: OK overview, but a fairly naive take on what to do with non-sig results. Also, plz don't just report and call it a day!

#62 Alternative for p-values [plot effects]

Thoughts: I think G-A plots are very nice and provide more info than typical bar plots. Not sure if they are exactly an "alternative" to p-values.

#54 Three-decision method (Tukey's sensible formulation)

Thoughts: Not sufficiently confused about what NHST is and isn't? Well, here's another version to consider.

@krysdolega A #Bayesian or a #Pragmaticist will agree to the position of #Neurath as stated by #Zolo. I often see this such criticism needed when sociology and #psychology turn to a pseudo-objectivism of the #Fisherian, #frequentist, kind.

Screenshot from: 
Zolo, Danilo. Reflexive epistemology: The philosophical legacy of Otto Neurath.

3. A CONVENTIONALISTIC CRITIQUE OF CARTESIAN 'PSEUDORATIONALISM'

Three years later, at an important stage in the development of his epistemological thought, Neurath adopted in his 'Die Verirrten des Cartesius und das Auxiliarmotiv' a clear anti-fundamentalist stance in opposition to what he termed Descartes' 'pseudorationalism'.

Descartes' methodology, he argued, started from an entirely unacceptable distinction between the spheres of theoretical research and practical action.  With regard to practical and moral action, Descartes, employing his famous metaphor of travellers lost in a wood,26 had granted that it was very often necessary to work without being able to take account of the entire scope of available alternatives, that it was necessary to act on the basis of partial knowledge or of provisional rules without waiting for evidence or certainty. With regard to theoretical enquiry, on the other hand, he had maintained the opposite, that it was possible, by adopting a method made appropriate and 'justified' on metaphysical grounds, to achieve a definitive understanding of truth and to provide firm ground for human knowledge.

A THREAD on a dead horse, #Frequentist vs #Bayesian inference, because why not?

(retro hits from the bad place, now that someone set fire to it again, and by hits I mean it got two retweets since I originally posted it four years ago, which is like a record for me)

Considering the concept of severe testing (Mayo), is there any point in planning for or running an hypothesis test if I instead determine my SESOI or predict a range of effects (e.g., 0.2<d<1.0)?

Shouldn't I just pre-register an equivalence test with those bounds, and avoid the "null hypothesis" test completely?
