Rival Hypotheses: Alternative Interpretations of Data Based Conclusions

"World hypotheses" correspond to metaphysical systems, and they may be systematically judged by the canons of evidence and corroboration.In setting forth his root-metaphor theory and examining six such hypotheses―animism, mysticism, formism, mechanism, contextualism, and organicism―Pepper surveys the whole field of metaphysics. Because this book is an analytical study, it stresses issues rather than men. It seeks to exhibit the sources of these issues and to show that some are unnecessary; that the rest gather into clusters and are interconnected in systems corresponding closely to the traditional schools of philosophy. The virtue of the root-metaphor method is that it puts metaphysics on a purely factual basis and pushes philosophical issues back to the interpretation of evidence.This book was written primarily as a contribution to the field, but its plan excellently suits it for use as a text in courses in metaphysics, types of philosophical theory, or present tendencies in philosophy.

This classic textbook, now available from Springer, summarizes developments in the field of hypotheses testing. Optimality considerations continue to provide the organizing principle. However, they are now tempered by a much stronger emphasis on the robustness properties of the resulting procedures. This book is an essential reference for any graduate student in statistics.

Sverker Johansson has written an unusual book on language origins, with its emphasis on empirical evidence rather than theory-building. This is a book for the student or researcher who prefers solid data and well-supported conclusions, over speculative scenarios. Much that has been written on the origins of language is characterized by hypothesizing largely unconstrained by evidence. But empirical data do exist, and the purpose of this book is to integrate and review the available evidence from all relevant disciplines, not only linguistics but also, e.g., neurology, primatology, paleoanthropology, and evolutionary biology. The evidence is then used to constrain the multitude of scenarios for language origins, demonstrating that many popular hypotheses are untenable. Among the issues covered: (1) Human evolutionary history, (2) Anatomical prerequisites for language, (3) Animal communication and ape "language", (4) Mind and language, (5) The role of gesture, (6) Innateness, (7) Selective advantage of language, (8) Proto-language.

An essential reference for any graduate student in statistics. Summarizes developments in the field of hypotheses testing.  Previous edition sold 4000 copies world wide since 1997.

The third edition of Testing Statistical Hypotheses updates and expands upon the classic graduate text, emphasizing optimality theory for hypothesis testing and confidence sets. The principal additions include a rigorous treatment of large sample optimality, together with the requisite tools. In addition, an introduction to the theory of resampling methods such as the bootstrap is developed. The sections on multiple testing and goodness of fit testing are expanded. The text is suitable for Ph.D. students in statistics and includes over 300 new problems out of a total of more than 760.

This book covers the theory of hypotheses testing and of estimation by confidence intervals. Accompanying Theory of Point Estimation (1983) to cover the main topics of classical statistics, including theory and its principal applications, this second edition contains more on confidence intervals, simultaneous inference, admissibility, and conditioning. The book is thoroughly updated throughout with a new section on conditional inference and an expansion of multivariate material.

In 1929, a group of scientists, including the author, working at the Bureau of Animal Population, Oxford University, began "the pursuit of the ecological Holy Grail", a scientific endeavor devoted to the search for the secret mechanisms behind biological life cycles as they occur in many animal populations. The results are presented here, in an account of science, not as it should be, but as it really is. Unlike nearly all science books which tell of successful ventures and satisfactory conclusions, this book reveals the harsher story of a scientific question left unanswered. Written by one of this century's most distinguished small mammal ecologists, it is both a personal history of and an apology for a life in science spent on research for which no final dramatic closure was reached. Included along the way are important anecdotes and history about Charles Elton and his pioneering work, from which much of modern population has grown, and insights on the philosophy and practice of science. Whether readers have an interest in population cycles, life sciences, or the history and philosophy of science, they will walk away with the inspiring notion that a life in science without a Nobel Prize is still well worth living.

The focus of this text is placed on designing General Linear Models (regression models) to test research hypotheses. The authors illustrate and discuss General Linear Models specifically designed to statistically test research hypotheses that deal with the differences among group means, relationships between continuous variables, analysis of covariance, interaction effects, nonlinear relationships, and repeated measures. Many of the chapters contain sections entitled “General Hypothesis” and “Applied Hypothesis.” The General Hypothesis sections are designed to provide the readers with “road maps” regarding how to conduct the various analyses presented in the text. The Applied Hypothesis sections illustrate how the various analyses are conducted with Microsoft Excel and SPSS for Windows and how the outputs should be interpreted to test the hypotheses. Throughout the text, the authors stress the importance of designing regression models that precisely reflect the null and research hypotheses.

Voice Rehabilitation: Testing Hypotheses and Reframing Therapy offersa patient-centered, hypothesis-driven framework for clinicians beginningto practice voice rehabilitation as well as practicing clinicians who continueto develop their skills. This valuable resource integrates motor learningtheory with the physiological underpinnings of voice production to make therehabilitation process more accessible and cohesive. Dialogues betweenthe patient and the clinician interwoven with the voice clinician’s internalmonologue provide insight into the active clinical reasoning process. A review of the etiologies and physiological changes associated with frequently diagnosed laryngeal pathologies provides a useful reference.FEATURES· Video clips featuring in-session demonstration and modification of procedures· Step-by-step description of voice exercise and rationales for their implementation· Special chapter devoted to the singer, transgender client, and patient who suffers from spasmodic dysphonia· Framework for group voice therapy· Counseling to address adherence, readiness for change, and generalization· Comprehensive discussion of risk factors for professional and customary voice users· Chapter Objectives, Review of Laryngeal Pathologies, Voice Evaluation ProtocolTEACHING TOOLS· Instructor’s Manual, featuring frameworks for class discussions; Case Studies; and Key Chapter Terms and ConceptsSTUDENT RESOURCESNavigate Companion Website*, including:· Interactive Learning Activities· Interactive Glossary· Videos*Each new copy of the text includes an access code to the Navigate Companion Website

How to use computer-intensive methods to assess the significance of a statistic in an hypothesis test--for both statisticians and nonstatisticians alike. The significance of almost any test can be assessed using one of the methods presented here, for the techniques given are very general (e.g. virtually every nonparametric statistical test is a special case of one of the methods covered). Programs presented are brief, easy to read, require minimal programming, and can be run on most PC's. They also serve as templates adaptable to a wide range of applications. Includes numerous illustrations of how to apply computer-intensive methods.
