Small samples have more variability than large samples and thus more often show spurious large effects.

- coolcase 1y agoSo you end up with a higher threshold for confidence at p<0.05 ot whatever you want p to be under. Comes out in the maths! Toss a coin 10 times comes up heads 10 times. There is a 1 in 2^10 (approx 1000) that happens by chance for an unbiased coin. I'm convinced it is biased. 20 times I am freaking convinced. I don't need another 1000 tosses.
