52: Give p's a chance (with Daniel Lakens) - a podcast by Dan Quintana

In this episode, Dan and James welcome back Daniel Lakens (Eindhoven University of Technology) to discuss his new paper on justifying your alpha level.
Highlights:Why did Daniel write this paper?
Turning away from mindless statisticsIncremental vs. seismic change in statistical practice
The limitations to justifying your alphaThe benefits of registered reports
Daniel’s coursera courseWhat’s better? Two pre-registered studies at .05 or one unregistered study at .005?
Testing at the start of semester vs. the end of semesterThinking of controlling for Type 1 errors as driving speed limits
Error rates mean different things between fieldsWhat if we applied the “5 Sigma” threshold used in physics to the biobehavioral sciences?
What about abandoning statistical significanceHow did Daniel co-ordinate a paper with 88 co-authors?
Using time zones to your benefit when collaboratingHow can junior researchers contribute to these types of discussions?
Science by discussion, not manifestoThe dangers of blanket recommendations
How do you actually justify your alpha from scratch?Links
