statistics and biology people: opinions on how biology research does (or fails to do) statistics? ya girl's working on an essay
🇳🇱
@percy p-hacking is a big issue. The issue is that I'm just not sure of examples that are exclusive to biology is all other than your usual prejudice based biases that are unique to bio (science around race and such).
@freemo thinking specifically about systematic or common problems in biology research, particularly small sample size ecology. i'm working on stuff to do with p-hacking, misunderstandings of statistical significance, and underrepresentations of error at the moment
