A Note on Misconceptions Concerning Prospective and Retrospective Power
Abstract
This paper addresses some misconceptions concerning prospective and retrospective power when journal editors, reviewers and readers want to know the observed power of statistical tests within a completed study. In addition, a practical solution to both the problem of computing the power after a study has been conducted and the critical evaluation of null findings is suggested

“Retrospective power analyses are based on the highly questionable assumption that the sample effect size is essentially identical to the effect size in the population from which it was drawn (Zumbo & Hubley, 1998).”

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.
