The email address on the submission page does not seem to be working and I am having trouble figuring out where to send it.

Very possible. I myself am not a statistician but a researcher. Here is an interesting read on the topic from the author I’ve read the most on statistics http://w3.sista.arizona.edu/~cohen/Publications/papers/cohenIEEE96.pdf. As you said, its likely a discipline difference. Happy holidays!

I’ve long said that Preordain was a safe unban, and I feel somewhat vindicated in my thoughts by these results. They may not be exhaustive, but they are pretty definitive. Now, the question is, what are the odds we actually see the unban? Opt’s reprinting makes me think it’ll be a while.

All my stats professors said accept the null and I’ve used it for years, this is news to me. Maybe different teaching methods?

If you liked this, strap yourself in for a very academic January.

You either reject or fail to reject the null. Failing to find evidence to reject the null is not necessarily evidence that the null is true, you have simply failed to find evidence to reject it. Hence, you do not accept the null. Otherwise great article and I hope indicative of what we can expect to see in 2018.
