Part II of my series on what to do with non-significant results is up now.

In this post, I focus on how to determine if your data is compatible with the claim of "no effect" (and why relying on p-values is wrong). It covers TOST equivalence tests and how to interpret and write up your results for publication. Link below 🔗

Exploratory hypothesis testing:

Nice to see that our article “Exploratory hypothesis tests can be more compelling than confirmatory hypothesis tests” (https://doi.org/10.1080/09515089.2022.2113771), which was published 4 months ago, is the most read article in @PhilosophicalPsychology in the last 12 months: https://www.tandfonline.com/action/showMostReadArticles?journalCode=cphp20

What is #empiricism ? To quote wiki

"Empiricism in the philosophy of science emphasizes evidence, especially as discovered in experiments. It is a fundamental part of the scientific method that all hypotheses and theories must be tested against observations of the natural world rather than resting solely on a priori reasoning, intuition, or revelation"
