重复是最好的统计
重复是科学研究中重要的组成部分，但实际操作中却很难实现。下面这段话摘自Steven J. Luck的An Introduction to the Event-Related Potential Technique。QCC同学在实验室说过，但 中文书 里翻了很久都没找到。还是直接搜英文比较容易找到。 以下摘自Steven J. Luck的An Introduction to the Event-Related Potential Technique，Box 6.1： Replication is the best statistic. I learned this when I was a graduate student in the Hillyard lab, although no one ever said it aloud. I frequently say it aloud to my students. Replication does not depend on assumptions about normality, sphericity, or independence. Replication is not distorted by outliers. Replication is a cornerstone of science. Replication is the best statistic. A corollary principle – which Steve Hillyard has said aloud – is that the more important a result is, the more important it is to replicate the result before you publish it. There are two reasons for this, the first of which is obvious: you don’t want to make a fool of yourself by making a bold new claim and being wrong. The second and less obvious reason is that i...
