Open Science Hypothesis Testing

This three-day course discusses the evaluation of theory-based hypotheses using p-values, the Bayes factor, and information criteria. Contemporary phenomena will be covered, like publication bias; questionable research practices; the replication crisis; the statistical evaluation of replication studies; and studies in which multiple data sets are used to evaluate the same research question. The course will be non-technical in nature, that is, it is targeted at students and researchers who want to use the approaches presented for the evaluation of their own data.
