Reverse-Bayes methods for evidence assessment and research synthesis

Leonhard Held et al.

Summary: It is widely believed that the current inferential toolkit used in scientific research is inadequate, and there is no consensus on alternative methods. A new Reverse-Bayes approach has been proposed to address the longstanding issues in Bayesian analysis, potentially providing solutions to inferential challenges and making Bayesian methods more accessible and attractive for evidence assessment.

The evidence interval and the Bayesian evidence value: On a unified theory for Bayesian hypothesis testing and interval estimation

Riko Kelter

Summary: In this paper, a new theory for Bayesian hypothesis testing and interval estimation is presented. The proposed Bayesian evidence interval solves the problems of traditional Bayesian interval estimates and unifies Bayesian hypothesis testing and parameter estimation. The method is universally applicable and computationally efficient.

Power Calculations for Replication Studies

Charlotte Micheloud et al.

Summary: The reproducibility crisis has led to an increase in replication studies. However, current methods for calculating sample sizes for replication studies do not take into account the uncertainty of the original result. In this study, we propose using Bayesian methods to incorporate predictive power into the design of replication studies. We also discuss the extension of this methodology to sequential clinical trials and argue that predictive power can be a useful tool for deciding when to stop a replication study.

Sample Size Planning for Replication Studies: The Devil Is in the Design

Samantha F. Anderson et al.

Summary: Replication is central to scientific progress, and new approaches are needed to assess the success of replication studies beyond traditional dichotomous outcomes. Sample size planning is crucial for replication studies and should align with the specific goals and analysis methods.

The e-value: a fully Bayesian significance measure for precise statistical hypotheses and its research program

C. A. B. Pereira et al.

Summary: This article gives a survey of the e-value and its application, which is a statistical significance measure in Bayesian inference. The e-value and the accompanying FBST comply with best principles of Bayesian inference and exhibit powerful logical and algebraic properties. They are also convenient for dealing with sharp or precise hypotheses. The FBST outperforms traditional tests of hypotheses in many practical applications of statistical modeling and operations research.

Improving preclinical studies through replications

Natascha Ingrid Drude et al.

Summary: The purpose of preclinical research is to guide the development of novel diagnostics or therapeutics, with results from animal models informing decisions on human studies. Despite apparent efficacy demonstrated in preclinical studies, a significant number of clinical trials still fail. Large-scale replication studies are currently investigating factors influencing the robustness of preclinical research.

Increasing the statistical power of animal experiments with historical control data

V Bonapersona et al.

Summary: This study proposes a new method to increase the statistical power of animal research by using historical control data, which can reduce the required sample size or increase the experimental power. The approach has been validated in independent studies on cognitive effects in rodents, and an open-source tool has been provided for widespread application.

Replicability of studies following a dual-criterion design

Gerd K. Rosenkranz

Summary: The replicability of results in science is crucial, but recent research raises doubts about its general fulfillment. Dual-criterion study designs that consider both statistical significance and scientific relevance have been proposed. The probability of replicating a result with both significance and relevance may decrease to as low as 0.5, but increases if the effect estimator exceeds the minimum relevant effect in the original study.

Bayesian Hodges-Lehmann tests for statistical equivalence in the two-sample setting: Power analysis, type I error rates and equivalence boundary selection in biomedical research

Riko Kelter

Summary: This study addresses the issues with NHST and p-values in biomedical research, introducing Bayesian alternatives for equivalence testing. A new method is proposed for determining the equivalence region based on objective criteria, with results showing the effectiveness of this approach in the two-sample setting. The sensitivity of Bayesian equivalence tests to prior modeling, power, and type I error rates is discussed, providing insight into the relationship between these factors in biomedical research.

Bayesian and frequentist testing for differences between two groups with parametric and nonparametric two-sample tests

Riko Kelter

Summary: This article reviews the differences between Bayesian and frequentist two-sample tests, including their implications on research practice and the balance needed in controlling type I and II errors. Research indicates that a careful consideration of the advantages and disadvantages of Bayesian and frequentist two-sample tests is necessary in practical applications.
