The Null Hypothesis Testing Controversy in Psychology
本文梳理了心理学界自1960年以来关于零假设检验有用性的争议，评述了一本提供多元视角的新书，并指出这场争论反映了统计学基础的重大缺陷。
Abstract A controversy concerning the usefulness of “null” hypothesis tests in scientific inference has continued in articles within psychology since 1960 and has recently come to a head, with serious proposals offered for a test ban or something close to it. This article sketches some of the views of statistical theory and practice among different groups of psychologists, reviews a recent book offering multiple perspectives on null hypothesis tests, and argues that the debate within psychology is a symptom of serious incompleteness in the foundations of statistics.
