Stickel-type key exchange with hidden subspaces
Fintan Costello, Paul Watts
We give a witness-finding cryptanalysis of Stickel-type key exchange schemes, which involve two-sided multiplication of matrices over , where these matri…
Underestimating the uncertainty of aggregated results: the case of W-Boson mass
Fintan Costello, Paul Watts
Estimates of uncertainty or variance in experimental means are central to physics. This is especially the case for `world averages' of fundamental physical parameters in particle p…
Why bother with Bayesian t-tests?
Fintan Costello, Paul Watts
Given the well-known and fundamental problems with hypothesis testing via classical (point-form) significance tests, there has been a general move to alternative approaches, often…
How to Tell When a Result Will Replicate: Significance and Replication in Distributional Null Hypothesis Tests
Fintan Costello, Paul Watts
There is a well-known problem in Null Hypothesis Significance Testing: many statistically significant results fail to replicate in subsequent experiments. We show that this problem…
Homeostatic behavioural response to COVID-19 infections returns R to a set-point of 1
Fintan Costello, Paul Watts, Rita Howe
One clear aspect of behaviour in the COVID-19 pandemic has been people's focus on, and response to, reported or observed infection numbers in their community. We describe a simple…
Significance and Replication in simple counting experiments: Distributional Null Hypothesis Testing
Fintan Costello, Paul Watts
Null Hypothesis Significance Testing (NHST) has long been of central importance to psychology as a science, guiding theory development and underlying the application of evidence-ba…
