The Cult Of Statistical Significance
"Null hypothesis significance testing" is in other words a scientific train-wreck, about which a small group of statisticians have been warning. This book shows how the wreck happened, and reports on the fatalities. It shows how wide the disaster is, and traces the problem to its historical, sociological, and philosophical roots.
