402 Citations Questioning the Indiscriminate Use of Null Hypothesis…
From the link:
In 1997, I compiled a list of articles, books, and book chapters that questioned the widespread use of null hypothesis significance tests (a.k.a. null hypothesis tests, significance tests) in scientific research. My goal was to provide those unfamiliar with this debate with a list of citations that pointed out the myriad of problems associated with the indiscriminate use of null hypothesis tests. For parity, I also compiled a list of references that supported, at least to a limited extent, the use of null hypothesis tests.
Ironically, null hypothesis testing as it is currently practiced is a hybridization of R. A. Fisher’s significance test and J. Neyman and E. Pearson’s null hypothesis test (hence the label ‘null hypothesis significance test’). These two approaches were fundamentally different and were the source of heated debate between these two camps for many years (see Goodman 1993a for an excellent review of this historical debate). I sincerely doubt that the melding of these two approaches would have been acceptable to either Fisher or Neyman and Pearson.
