Statistical Inference as Severe Testing

How to Get Beyond the Statistics Wars

This eye-opener illuminates controversies surrounding widely used statistical methods across the physical, social, and biological sciences. New solutions to philosophical problems of induction, falsification, science vs. pseudoscience are put to work to let statisticians and reproducibility researchers get beyond hardened conceptual disagreements.
