Does preregistration improve the credibility of research findings?
Mark Rubin
Preregistration entails researchers registering their planned research hypotheses, methods, and analyses in a time-stamped document before they undertake their data collection and…
Type I Error Rates are Not Usually Inflated
Mark Rubin
The inflation of Type I error rates is thought to be one of the causes of the replication crisis. Questionable research practices such as p-hacking are thought to inflate Type I er…
Preregistration does not improve the transparent evaluation of severity in Popper's philosophy of science or when deviations are allowed
Mark Rubin
One justification for preregistering research hypotheses, methods, and analyses is that it improves the transparent evaluation of the severity of hypothesis tests. In this article,…
Inconistent multiple testing corrections: The fallacy of using family-based error rates to make inferences about individual hypotheses
Mark Rubin
During multiple testing, researchers often adjust their alpha level to control the familywise error rate for a statistical inference about a joint union alternative hypothesis (e.g…
Spitzer observations of a 24 micron shadow: Bok Globule CB190
Amelia M. Stutz, John H. Bieging, George H. Rieke +8
We present Spitzer observations of the dark globule CB190 (L771). We observe a roughly circular 24 micron shadow with a 70 arcsec radius. The extinction profile of this shadow matc…
p-Hacking Inflates Type I Error Rates in the Error Statistical Approach but not in the Formal Inference Approach
Mark Rubin
p-hacking occurs when researchers conduct multiple significance tests (e.g., p1;H0,1 and p2;H0,2) and then selectively report tests that yield desirable (usually significant) resul…
When to adjust alpha during multiple testing: A consideration of disjunction, conjunction, and individual testing
Mark Rubin
Scientists often adjust their significance threshold (alpha level) during null hypothesis significance testing in order to take into account multiple testing and multiple compariso…
Spitzer Observations of Bok Globule B335: Isolated Star Formation Efficiency and Cloud Structure
Amelia M. Stutz, Mark Rubin, Michael W. Werner +8
We present infrared and millimeter observations of Barnard 335, the prototypical isolated Bok globule with an embedded protostar. Using Spitzer data we measure the source luminosit…
