The logic of Null hypothesis testing
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 21 (2):197-198 (1998)
Abstract
In this commentary, I agree with Chow's treatment of null hypothesis significance testing as a noninferential procedure. However, I dispute his reconstruction of the logic of theory corroboration. I also challenge recent criticisms of NHSTP based on power analysis and meta-analysis.Author's Profile
