- michaelhoffman 8y agoJohn Ioannidis claims that "most published research is false" based on some rather dubious assumptions. https://www.annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.1146/annurev-statistics-060116-054104 https://www.annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.1146/annurev-statis...
- DataWorker 8y agoI agree with him although the accuracy of that statement is partially based on how “published research” is defined. Operational definitions and measurement are themselves much of the problem.
