So it works?
- idclip 7y agoIt sorta works. Its not a cure, but it seems to help.
- arcticbull 7y agoToo small a sample size to say.
- James_Henry 7y agoCould you show me the statistics/theory that show that this is too small a sample size to make meaningful decisions from?
- arcticbull 7y agoStatistical significance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_significance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_significance
- James_Henry 7y agoSo, are you trying to say that the results that the researchers say are statistically significant aren't actually statistically significant? They give their numbers in the paper and the p-values are less than everyone's favorite threshold (.05). If you are trying to say that their sample size was too small to find an effect using null hypothesis testing, then that makes no sense.
- tgv 7y agoIt looks as if this was better executed than the earlier, criticized study, but with just 2x32 patients, we'll probably have to wait for replication. One thing that certainly should be cleared up is the age effect: they report "No difference in the age ... distribution ", but that's not enough.
