Title: Someone needed to search old academic papers and textbooks
Post by: bb113 on November 23, 2012, 06:02:43 PM
I would like to find the first published instance of the erroneous combination of Fisher's p-value based significance testing and Neyman-Pearson error-rate based Hypothesis testing. This happened sometime between 1928 and 1940.

This paper explains the phenomenon I am talking about.

The paper/book must be published before this earliest reference I have found:
Lindquist, E.F., 1940. Statistical Analysis in Educational Research. Houghton Mifflin, Boston. (http://www.jameslindlibrary.org/illustrating/records/statistical-analysis-in-educational-research/title_pages)

2 btc reward and you will have made a great contribution to modern science. Extra reward for images of the cover and page in which this occurs.

PM me if interested.

Nah it wont be written by Fisher, Neyman, or Pearson. You can agree or disagree with their philosophies but they all knew what they were talking about.
