  • Predicting the replicability of social and behavioural science claims in Covid-19 preprints

    Open AccessAlexandru Marcoci, David P Wilkinson et al.ARTICLENature Human Behaviour2024References: 48

    Replications are important for assessing the reliability of published findings. However, they are costly, and it is infeasible to replicate everything. Accurate, fast, lower-cost alternatives such as eliciting predictions could accelerate assessment for rapid policy implementation in a crisis and help guide a more efficient allocation of scarce replication resources. We elicited judgements from participants on 100 claims from preprints about an e…

  • Replicability, Robustness, and Reproducibility in Psychological Science

    Brian A Nosek, Tom E Hardwicke et al.ARTICLEAnnual Review of Psychology2022

    Replication—an important, uncommon, and misunderstood practice—is gaining appreciation in psychology. Achieving replicability is important for making research progress. If findings are not replicable, then prediction and theory development are stifled. If findings are replicable, then interrogation of their meaning and validity can advance knowledge. Assessing replicability can be productive for generating and testing hypotheses by actively confr…

  • Decline of ‘biodiversity’ in conservation policy discourse in Australia

    Open AccessAlexander M Kusmanoff, Fiona Fidler et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Policy2017Cited by: 1References: 11

    Market-based instruments along with conceptualizing the environment as a collection of ‘ecosystem services’ has become increasingly common within environmental and conservation policy. This kind of thinking is also increasingly prominent in the public discourse surrounding environment and conservation policy, particularly in the context of communicating the importance of policy measures. Language used in public discourse can have a powerful influ…

  • Effect Size Estimation and Confidence Intervals

    Open AccessFiona Fidler, Geoff Cummings et al.OTHERHandbook of Psychology, Second…2012

    We describe a six-step estimation framework for research that starts with the formulation of research goals in terms of “How much?” questions. Such questions are best answered by effect size (ES) estimates and confidence intervals (CIs) calculated from data, where the ESs estimates and CIs are point and interval estimates of population parameters. These estimates usually provide the best basis for the interpretation of research findings. Such an …

  • Reducing Overconfidence in the Interval Judgments of Experts

    Open AccessAndrew Speirs‐Bridge, Andrew Speirs-Bridge et al.ARTICLERisk Analysis2009

    Elicitation of expert opinion is important for risk analysis when only limited data are available. Expert opinion is often elicited in the form of subjective confidence intervals; however, these are prone to substantial overconfidence. We investigated the influence of elicitation question format, in particular the number of steps in the elicitation procedure. In a 3-point elicitation procedure, an expert is asked for a lower limit, upper limit, a…

  • The Fifth edition of the Apa Publication Manual

    Open AccessFiona FidlerARTICLEEducational and Psychological…2002

    The fifth edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA) draws on recommendations for improving statistical practices made by the APA Task Force on Statistical Inference (TFSI). The manual now acknowledges the controversy over null hypothesis significance testing (NHST) and includes both a stronger recommendation to report effect sizes and a new recommendation to report confidence intervals. Drawing on interview…

  • Computing Correct Confidence Intervals for Anova Fixed-and Random-Effects Effect Sizes

    Open AccessFiona Fidler, Bruce ThompsonARTICLEEducational and Psychological…2001

    Most textbooks explain how to compute confidence intervals for means, correlation coefficients, and other statistics using “central” test distributions (e.g., t, F) that are appropriate for such statistics. However, few textbooks explain how to use “noncentral” test distributions (e.g., noncentral t, noncentral F) to evaluate power or to compute confidence intervals for effect sizes. This article illustrates the computation of confidence interval…
