Abstract:
|
Publication in applied observational science areas, e.g. environment, medicine, nutrition, epidemiology, psychology, sociology, etc., generally requires a "statistically significant" result. Journal editors are largely using statistical significance as the price for entry to their journals. Edwards Deming might say, "Quality by inspection, rather than quality by design." Authors can be quite through (multiple testing) and creative (multiple modeling) to get statistical significance. We will discuss examples of author initiative and how inclined statisticians might effectively push back and provide some level of independent oversight.
