Open Science Hypothesis Testing

Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences (UU)

This three-day course discusses the evaluation of theory-based hypotheses using p-values, the Bayes factor, and information criteria. Contemporary phenomena will be covered, like publication bias; questionable research practices; the replication crisis; the statistical evaluation of replication studies; and studies in which multiple data sets are used to evaluate the same research question. The course will be nontechnical in nature, that is, it is targeted at students and researchers who want to use the approaches presented for the evaluation of their own data.
