[R] OFFTOPIC: Ioannidis et. al. on non-reproducible research
**** OFFTOPIC **** These links were sent to me by a friend and are kind of a followup to Sarah Goslee's recent off topic post on the Rogoff Excel spreadsheet goof, which I appreciated, that I hope will be of interest to this list's readers. I apologize if I have taken too much license. I will also crosspost it to stackexchange, where it is more appropriate. **Please reply privately if you wish to reply to me.**** Note: The Button commentary is a good quick summary if you don't want to go through the NATURE paper. Cheers, Bert Button, Ioannidis et al, ?Power failure: why small sample size undermines the reliability of neuroscience? http://www.nature.com/nrn/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nrn3475.html A commentary by his co-author, Kate Button: http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/sifting-the-evidence/2013/apr/10/unreliable-neuroscience-power-matters The headline from this coverage is more blunt: ?Most brain science papers are neurotrash? http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/04/12/brain_science_low_power_junk/ -- Bert Gunter Genentech Nonclinical Biostatistics
