Conclusion
How can we improve the situation?
• Cannot draw firm conclusions based on a single positive
result
• It is possible to test for something until we find what we
want!
• And this is more likely to receive attention
• Selecting research questions
• Avoid marketing driven questions
• Importance of pre study odds
• Increase power
• Larger samples
• For research questions with high pre-study odds
• To test major concepts rather than narrow specific
questions
• Research standards
