The "analysis" in that paper consists of an error (or intentional statistical contrivance). As you can figure from my writings, I agree that a substantial fraction (it would take some nearly impossible systematic research to decide if that was "most" or not) of published health science papers are, in some important way or another, false (but not generally for the reason claimed in that paper). We need to be much more worried about publication bias than about statistical issues.Carl V Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01919902852457771666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-50599758206835308812010-10-26T11:53:29.801+01:002010-10-26T11:53:29.801+01:00Swedish racist serial killer hasn't figured mu...Swedish racist serial killer hasn't figured much, if at all, in the UK news. His existence doesn't surprise me. After watching Wallander I've gathered that the main concerns of the average Swede are those of the average British person.
