Magnitude-based inference is a special case of “calibrated Bayes” inference that provides a good basis for inference in many settings. Jun 3 Daniël Lakens
MBI should be placed on a more formal footing by focusing on either Frequentist error control or the quantification of Bayesian posterior probabilities. Jun 3 Alan Batterham and
Will Hopkins
In our response to Little and Lakens, we highlight the need for MBI to be promoted and accepted as a valid form of Bayesian inference, in which probabilistic statements about the true magnitude of an effect are not modified by any prior belief or information about the effect. Jun 3 Mick Wilkinson
Recent criticisms about error rates in MBI are based on flawed logic, false assertions, and attempts to apply error-type definitions that do not apply to MBI. MBI is a rigorous and valuable statistical tool. Jun 17 Martin Buchheit
MBI is irreplaceable for sport scientists. It is worth fighting for. Jul 2 Will Hopkins and Alan Batterham We advise researchers to
describe their inferences about magnitudes as the legitimate reference
Bayes with a dispersed uniform prior when submitting manuscripts to any
journal banning magnitude-based inference. We also address the latest attack
on MBI. Jul 15 In this slideshow I explain the recent attack on
MBI by showing how MBI works, how p values fail, how MBI is Bayesian, how
errors can occur in MBI, and how the error rates are low and acceptable. The
slideshow is also available as two YouTube videos of a chat between Fabio Serpiello and me: MBI and the recent attack on MBI and Errors and error rates with MBI. Aug 21. Updated
final slide Nov 26. Back to The Vindication of Magnitude-Based Inference. Published June-November
2018.
