Could you show me the statistics/theory that show that this is too small a sample size to make meaningful decisions from?

- 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.
