Predictive judgments in situations of statistical analysis
Article Abstract:
A study exploring the intuitive probabilistic judgments of researchers in situations of statistical prediction was conducted on 50 Parisian researchers. Results indicate a difference in predictive judgements about the difference of means and the significance test statistic. Predictive judgments on the difference of means were coherent but incoherent on the test statistic. Significance tests are an object of bias.
