Yeah, the papers you cite both basically start "Look, we know you all abuse the heck out of p-values and you really should stop (wink wink nudge nudge) doing that" and go on to "gee, if you start with much more optimistic assumptions than Ioannidis, then you don't come to such rhetorically devastating conclusions". Of course, he's a very bad man for pointing all this out, isn't he?
- ChrisLomont 5y agoNo, if you read my the papers you'd learn his claim, based not on measuring papers,but on guessing, is wrong. When people measured the required items, his conclusion is not supported by evidence. Ioannidis made assumptions that didn't hold up under empirical testing. End of story. Measurement trumps belief. I gather you prefer conclusions based on feelings. I prefer my science to measure things to discard invalid claims.
- buescher 5y agoWhy, I'm an emotional wreck I guess to notice these things! Maybe when you calm down you can examine the assumptions behind the method of examining p-values in the paper you cited.
