To curb research misreporting, replace significance and confidence by compatibility: A Preventive Medicine Golden Jubilee article
Preventive Medicine(2022)
摘要
It is well known that the statistical analyses in health-science and medical journals are frequently misleading or even wrong. Despite many decades of reform efforts by hundreds of scientists and statisticians, attempts to fix the problem by avoiding obvious error and encouraging good practice have not altered this basic situation. Statistical teaching and reporting remain mired in damaging yet editorially enforced jargon of “significance”, “confidence”, and imbalanced focus on null (no-effect or “nil”) hypotheses, leading to flawed attempts to simplify descriptions of results in ordinary terms.
