Roundtable Discussion of the Reproducibility Crisis and the Proposal to Make Half a Percent the Standard for Statistical Significance

If you were interested in my post "Let's Set Half a Percent as the Standard for Statistical Significance," you might be interested in this online roundtable discussion. Here is the announcement: 

This Friday, October 27th at noon Eastern time, the International
Methods Colloquium will host a roundtable discussion on the
reproducibility crisis in social sciences and a recent proposal to
impose a stricter threshold for statistical significance. The
discussion is motivated by a paper, "Redefine statistical
significance," recently published in Nature Human Behavior (and
available at https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-017-0189-z).

Our panelists are:

Daniel Benjamin, Associate Research Professor of Economics at the
University of Southern California and a primary co-author of the paper
in Nature Human Behavior as well as many other articles on inference
and hypothesis testing in the social sciences.

Daniel Lakens, Assistant Professor in Applied Cognitive Psychology at
Eindhoven University of Technology and an author or co-author on many
articles on statistical inference in the social sciences, including
the Open Science Collaboration's recent Science publication
"Estimating the reproducibility of psychological science" (available
at https://dx.doi.org/10.1126/science.aac4716).

Blake McShane, Associate Professor of Marketing at Northwestern
University and a co-author of the recent paper "Abandon Statistical
Significance" as well as many other articles on statistical inference
and replicability.

Jennifer Tackett, Associate Professor of Psychology at Northwestern
University and a co-author of the recent paper "Abandon Statistical
Significance" who specializes in childhood and adolescent
psychopathology.

E.J. Wagenmakers, Professor at the Methodology Unit of the Department
of Psychology at the University of Amsterdam, a co-author of the paper
in Nature Human Behavior and author or co-author of many other
articles concerning statistical inference in the social sciences,
including a meta-analysis of the "power pose" effect (available at
http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/23743603.2017.1326760).
