By minimizing the technical aspects, the studies primarily focus on methodological contributions, making it accessible to a broader audience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first part of the book provides a comprehensive overview of the major approaches to statistical testing, including an enlightening discussion of the philosophies of Fisher, Neyman-Pearson, and Jeffrey. It also examines the conceptual and methodological implications of current practices of reporting effect sizes and confidence intervals, challenging them and shedding new light on the significance testing controversy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe second part of the book is a treasure trove of concrete Bayesian routine procedures that bypass common misuses of significance testing. These procedures are readily applicable in a wide range of real applications, addressing the need for objective reporting of experimental data that is acceptable to the scientific community. The approach is characterized by its emphasis on fiduciality, derived from the Latin word \"fiducia,\" meaning confidence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy employing fiducial Bayesian procedures, readers are given a powerful tool to think sensibly about problems of statistical inference. This book prepares students and researchers to critically read statistical analyses reported in the literature and equips them with an appropriate alternative to the use of significance testing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn conclusion, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the misuses and abuses of NHSTs, as well as in exploring more effective approaches to statistical inference in experimental investigations. It provides a comprehensive and accessible framework that empowers readers to make informed decisions based on rigorous statistical analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 343g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 235 x 155 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783662657041\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2nd ed. 2022\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bruno Lecoutre,Jacques Poitevineau","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44102722093306,"sku":"9783662657041","price":41.64,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1666970175894_book.jpg?v=1667505508","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-significance-test-controversy-revisited-the-fiducial-bayesian-alternative-9783662657041","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
