Statistical significance and its critics
While the common procedure of statistical significance testing and its accompanying concept of p-values have long been surrounded by controversy, renewed concern has been triggered by the replication crisis in science. Many blame statistical significance tests themselves, and some regard them as sufficiently damaging to scientific practice as to warrant being abandoned. We take a contrary position, arguing that the central criticisms arise from m…
Football, Europe and the Press
This book examines the construction of national, regional, and group identities in the football journalism of five European countries: England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain. Notions of the respective national stereotypes are explored in each of the countries studied
From Evidence to Understanding
Falsifiability is the cornerstone of science. However, Rutherford notwithstanding, almost by definition science functions at the limits of measurement accuracy and theoretical grasp, so that statistical analysis is central to scientific advance. This applies as much to physics as it does to psychology, as much to geology as to biology. I look at some of the potholes in the path of scientific discovery, showing how easy it is to stumble, and at so…

Spanish Identities in the European Press
How does the discourse of European football writing contribute to the representation of Spanish identities? In this essay, recent articles from Spanish and English ‘quality’ newspapers are analysed to identify the principal elements in this representation. The discourse examined reveals recognizable perceptions of Spanishness and demonstrates the relationship between football and society as mediated by the press. This examination of the press dem…
City 'til I Die? Recent Trends in Popular Football Writing (Review Article)
Popular football writing's importance to the sports book market continues to grow. Reference works apart, the most numerous categories of football writing are personality-oriented (mainly autobiographies), issue-oriented (dominated by 'hooliganism') and club-oriented. This article surveys recent trends in these areas focusing especially on club-oriented works. Three texts on Manchester City F.C. are reviewed. The discussion particularly concerns …
Playing the identity card
The amount of space ‘quality’ newspapers devote to football reflects its increasing importance in European culture. European print media discourse on football does more than cover the game's technicalities, though; it also shapes its readers’ awareness of national identities. It is the aim of this study to analyse football match reports and articles from Britain, Spain, France and Germany with a view to understanding the mechanisms at work in the…
Data Mining
Data mining is the science of finding unexpected, valuable, or interesting structures in large data sets. It is an interdisciplinary activity, taking ideas and methods from statistics, machine learning, database technology, and other areas. It poses novel challenges, in part arising from the sheer size of modern data sets. Although there is no doubt that it addresses important questions, there are deep issues to be resolved relating to data quali…

Discriminant Function Analysis of the MC Gill Pain Questionnaire
The performance on the McGill Pain Questionnaire was compared with an alternate version of 16 subcategories of adjectives in distinguishing among three groups of patients with pain. Both versions were administered to (a) primiparae experiencing postepisiotomy pain ( n = 60); (b) outpatients attending a rheumatology clinic ( n = 60); (c) inpatients having undergone wisdom tooth extraction ( n = 60). The order of administration was balanced, so tha…
