An investigation of the false discovery rate and the misinterpretation of p-values
(2014)
If you use p=0.05 to suggest that you have made a discovery, you will be wrong at least 30% of the time. If, as is often the case, experiments are underpowered, you will be wrong most of the time. This conclusion is ...
Using prediction markets to forecast research evaluations
(The Royal Society, 2015)
The 2014 Research Excellence Framework (REF2014) was conducted to assess the quality of research carried out at higher education institutions in the UK over a 6 year period. However, the process was criticized for being ...
Introductory Statistics
(OpenStax College, 2013)
Introductory Statistics was conceived and written to fit a particular topical sequence, but it can be used flexibly to accommodate other course structures. One such potential structure, which will fit reasonably well with ...
An efficient interpolation technique for jump proposals in reversible jump Markov chain Monte Carlo calculations
(The Royal Society, 2015)
Selection among alternative theoretical models given an observed dataset is an important challenge in many areas of physics and astronomy. Reversible-jump Markov chain Monte Carlo (RJMCMC) is an extremely powerful technique ...
