Is the "optimal Julia workflow" written down anywhere?

You may be interested to know that this exact objection has been made in the philosophical literature. See "Causal Fundamentalism in Physics" by Zinkernagel (2010). Available here:…

The author is a professor at Ohio State University, specializing in condensed matter theory. His CV list two works on superconductors and a dissertation on supercapacitors.

There's also a C-R bound for the biased case.

But here the issue is the uncorrected multiple testing and under-reporting of results, not the p-values themselves. Any criterion for judging the presence of an effect is going to …

AIC is an estimate of prediction error. I would caution against using it for selecting a model for the purpose of inference of e.g. population parameters from some dataset (without…

How else do you propose to construct procedures that control type I error and evaluate their properties?

I don't understand. CIs are equivalent to computing a bunch of p-values, by test-interval duality. Should I interpret your points as critiques of simple analyses that only test a s…

The items you listed are certainly problems, but p-values don't have much to do with them, as far as I can see. Poor power is an experimental design problem, not a problem with the…

I think if hypothesis testing is understood properly, these objections don't have much teeth. 1. Typically we use p-values to construct confidence intervals, answering the concern …

Is there a modern reference you would recommend?

My argument is that key claims of the paper are factually incorrect. For example, there was no "confession" by Karplus and Kroll. (At least, none is cited as far as I see - please …

If a mathematical technique helps understand and predict nature, why not use it? The quote criticizing the method misunderstands it. It's certainly not "wrong" or "absurd." I disli…
