Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Pseudoreplication has been addressed repeatedly in ecology, agriculture, psychology, and neuroscience and acknowledged as one of the most common statistical mistakes in scientific literature.

    “Pseudoreplication has been addressed repeatedly in ecology, agriculture, psychology, and neuroscience and acknowledged as one of the most common statistical mistakes in scientific literature4–9.”
  • Mixed-effects models lead to the most accurate results when analyzing data with a hierarchical structure.

    “Overall, mixed-effects models lead to the most accurate results when analyzing data with a hierarchical structure6,25,26.”
  • Applying statistical inference to replicates that are not statistically independent without properly accounting for their correlation structure will inflate type 1 error rates and lead to spurious results.

    “Here we hope to address pseudoreplication in single-cell analyses by demonstrating what a large and long-standing body of statistical literature already confirms: applying statistical inference to replicates that are not statistically independent without properly accounting for their correlation structure will inflate type 1 error rates and lead to spurious results4–6,9,25–28.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
