Mark Rubin - One-Sided Tests

In this paper (Rubin, 2022), I make two related points: (1) researchers should halve two-sided p values if they use them to make directional claims, and (2) researchers should not halve their alpha level if they're using two one-sided tests to test two directional null hypotheses.

Thoughts: This topic is more nuanced than just power, but useful to know that you save on sample size *if* you're right!
