Bernoullis Fallacy: Statistical Illogic and the Crisis of Modern Science
There is a logical flaw in the statistical methods used across experimental science. In an increasingly statistics-reliant society, this same deeply rooted error shapes decisions in medicine, law, and public policy with profound consequences. This fault is not a minor academic quibble: it underlies a reproducibility crisis now threatening entire disciplines.
Clayton recounts the feuds among rival schools of statistics, exploring the surprisingly human problems that gave rise to the discipline and the all-too-human shortcomings that derailed it.
