Connecting Simple and Precise P-values to Complex and Ambiguous Realities
Sander Greenland
Mathematics is a limited component of solutions to real-world problems, as it expresses only what is expected to be true if all our assumptions are correct, including implicit assu…
Divergence vs. Decision P-values: A Distinction Worth Making in Theory and Keeping in Practice
Sander Greenland
There are two distinct definitions of 'P-value' for evaluating a proposed hypothesis or model for the process generating an observed dataset. The original definition starts with a…
Rewriting results in the language of compatibility
Valentin Amrhein, Sander Greenland
This is a reply to Muff, S. et al. (2022) Rewriting results sections in the language of evidence, Trends in Ecology & Evolution 37, 203-210.
Odds Ratios are far from "portable": A call to use realistic models for effect variation in meta-analysis
Mengli Xiao, Haitao Chu, Stephen Cole +4
Objective: Recently Doi et al. argued that risk ratios should be replaced with odds ratios in clinical research. We disagreed, and empirically documented the lack of portability of…
There are natural scores: Full comment on Shafer, "Testing by betting: A strategy for statistical and scientific communication"
Sander Greenland
Shafer (2021) offers a betting perspective on statistical testing which may be useful for foundational debates, given that disputes over such testing continue to be intense. To be…
The causal foundations of applied probability and statistics
Sander Greenland
Statistical science (as opposed to mathematical statistics) involves far more than probability theory, for it requires realistic causal models of data generators - even for purely…
To Aid Scientific Inference, Emphasize Unconditional Compatibility Descriptions of Statistics
Sander Greenland, Zad Rafi, Robert Matthews +1
All scientific interpretations of statistical outputs depend on background (auxiliary) assumptions that are rarely delineated or explicitly interrogated. These include not only the…
Semantic and Cognitive Tools to Aid Statistical Science: Replace Confidence and Significance by Compatibility and Surprise
Zad Rafi, Sander Greenland
Researchers often misinterpret and misrepresent statistical outputs. This abuse has led to a large literature on modification or replacement of testing thresholds and -values wi…
Comment: The Need for Syncretism in Applied Statistics
Sander Greenland
Comment on "The Need for Syncretism in Applied Statistics" [arXiv:1012.1161]
Interval Estimation for Messy Observational Data
Paul Gustafson, Sander Greenland
We review some aspects of Bayesian and frequentist interval estimation, focusing first on their relative strengths and weaknesses when used in "clean" or "textbook" contexts. We th…
Relaxation Penalties and Priors for Plausible Modeling of Nonidentified Bias Sources
Sander Greenland
In designed experiments and surveys, known laws or design feat ures provide checks on the most relevant aspects of a model and identify the target parameters. In contrast, in most…
