Folks: NON-R RELATED NATURE article on fundamental statistical inference (and, I think, more fundamentally, philosophy of science: what constitutes scientific "validity" ?) issues that I thought might be of general interest to this list.
http://www.nature.com/news/2009/090113/full/457245a.html For a hint on content, the last line is: "We can never be reminded often enough of the importance of good statistical practice." **I DO NOT WISH TO INCITE FLAME WARS.** Please do not comment or reply to me. I have no position or opinion (as I know nothing more than I read here). It's just FYI and amusement. IF THIS IS INAPPROPRIATE FOR THIS LIST please let me know, and I will refrain from any such posts in the future (though I think this is the only one like it I've ever done. I value this list too highly to be a polluter.
