Описание книги

Evidence-Based Statistics: An Introduction to the Evidential Approach – from Likelihood Principle to Statistical Practice  provides readers with a comprehensive and thorough guide to the evidential approach in statistics. The approach uses likelihood ratios, rather than the probabilities used by other statistical inference approaches. The evidential approach is conceptually easier to grasp, and the calculations more straightforward to perform. This book explains how to express data in terms of the strength of statistical evidence for competing hypotheses.  The evidential approach is currently underused, despite its mathematical precision and statistical validity.  Evidence-Based Statistics  is an accessible and practical text filled with examples, illustrations and exercises. Additionally, the companion website complements and expands on the information contained in the book.  While the evidential approach is unlikely to replace probability-based methods of statistical inference, it provides a useful addition to any statistician’s “bag of tricks.” In this book:  It explains how to calculate statistical evidence for commonly used analyses, in a step-by-step fashion Analyses include: t tests, ANOVA (one-way, factorial, between- and within-participants, mixed), categorical analyses (binomial, Poisson, McNemar, rate ratio, odds ratio, data that’s ‘too good to be true’, multi-way tables), correlation, regression and nonparametric analyses (one sample, related samples, independent samples, multiple independent samples, permutation and bootstraps) Equations are given for all analyses, and R statistical code provided for many of the analyses Sample size calculations for evidential probabilities of misleading and weak evidence are explained Useful techniques, like Matthews’s critical prior interval, Goodman’s Bayes factor, and Armitage’s stopping rule are described Recommended for undergraduate and graduate students in any field that relies heavily on statistical analysis, as well as active researchers and professionals in those fields,  Evidence-Based Statistics: An Introduction to the Evidential Approach – from Likelihood Principle to Statistical Practice  belongs on the bookshelf of anyone who wants to amplify and empower their approach to statistical analysis.

Estimation, a key element in statistical analysis, has often been ignored in the face of dichotomous decisions reached from statistical tests. If results are reported as non-significant, it is assumed that there is no effect or difference between population parameters. Alternatively, highly significant results based on large samples are assumed to represent large effects. The increased use of confidence intervals [26] is a great improvement that allows us to see how large or small the magnitude of the effects are, and hence whether they are of practical/clinical importance. These advances have increased the credibility of well-reported studies and facilitated our understanding of research results. The confidence interval is illustrated in the middle portion of Figure 1.1. This is centred on the sample mean (shown by the end-stopped line) and gives a range of plausible values for the population mean [26]. The interval has a frequentist interpretation: 95% of such intervals, calculated from random samples taken from the population of interest, will contain the population statistic. The confidence interval focusses our attention on the obtained sample mean value, and the 95% limits indicate how far this value is from parameter values of interest, especially the null. The interval helps us determine whether the data we have is of practical importance.

Figure 1.1 From sampling distribution to likelihood function. The top curve shows the sampling distribution used for testing statistical significance. It is centred on the null hypothesis value (often 0) and the standard error used to calculate the curve comes from the observed data. Below this in the middle is shown the 95% confidence interval. This uses the sample mean and standard error from the observed data. At the bottom shows the likelihood function, within which is plotted the S-2 likelihood function. Both the likelihood function and the likelihood interval use the observed data like the confidence interval.
