Here's a new paper summarizing methods for evaluating whether the absence of a statistically significant difference (from a NHST) is actually no difference--test of equivalence, confidence interval bounds, likelihood ratios, Bayes factors, and Bayesian estimation. There's nothing new here, but it's a nice readable overview that might be worth citing for some audiences.

#statstab #445 What are credible priors and what are skeptical priors?

Thoughts: An excellent thread on prior elicitation by some of the big names in the field (frequentist and bayesian).

What are credible priors and what are skeptical priors?

A few weeks ago Dan Scharfstein asked a group of colleagues about how to report an odds ratio of 1.70 with 95% confidence limits of 0.96 and 3.02. Back-calculating from these statistics gives a two-sided P of 0.06 or 0.07, corresponding to an S-value (surprisal, log base 2 of P) of about 4 bits of information against the null hypothesis of OR=1. So, not much evidence against the null from the result, but still favoring a positive association over an inverse one, and so thought worthy of reportin...

Ah yes, the groundbreaking 2018 #tutorial on "likelihood," where the real mystery is not statistical analysis, but navigating the dark arts of enabling #JavaScript and #cookies. 🍪🔍 Because who needs math when you can unravel the secrets of #browser #settings instead? 🙄

Thoughts: Dienes presents a different way to compute BFs using the sample data. But, this can be seen as an acceptable double-dipping.

After doing very sophisticated* web searching, it seems that it is not uncommon typo, and I could not find a definition.

So, there seems to be an opening for introducing a new term. Maybe outside #Statistics, shall we talk about a #Likeligood Function in #WelfareEconomics?
Or does it describe a new equilibrium in #GameTheory, the one that is likely good?

#Likelihood

I thought it was an innocent, unassuming typo.

But now I see a need to figure out whether "Likeligood estimation" is actually a thing...
