For those who are quite familiar with the details of statistical methods, it confirms much of what has been happening in the literature over the past few decades. For those who have not been keeping abreast of new developments on the statistical scene, it alerts them in a gentle way that there have been some important changes since they earned their degrees, and that they should probably read up on these advances before embarking upon their next research program or teaching their next statistics course. date: 2002 date_type: published publication: History & Philosophy of Psychology Bulletin volume: 14 number: 1 pagerange: 42-46 refereed: FALSE referencetext: Abelson, R.
