New paper: Blaming the Thermometer for the Fever: Separating Misapplication from Method in Null Hypothesis Significance Testing, with @laabho.bsky.social and @jnwulff.bsky.social. We – strongly – push back on criticisms against NHST and argue for proper application. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.... >
