讲座简介：
The last two decades have seen increasing doubt about the credibility of empirical research in science. This has come to be known as the “Reproducibility Crisis,” with the name derived from the fact that many reported empirical findings cannot be reproduced. This presentation uses the framework of Ioannidis (2005) to explain why many researchers believe there is a “reproducibility crisis” in science. It then goes on to use that framework to evaluate various proposals to fix the problem. Of particular interest is the “post-study probability”, the probability that a reported research finding represents a true relationship. This probability is inherently unknowable. However, a number of insightful results emerge if we are willing to make some conjectures about reasonable parameter values.
