Statistics

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

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, 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?

  • The hypothesis of SFI is tested explicitly in MGCFA, whereas in Jensen's test it is not tested directly, rather some aspects are investigated piecemeal.

    “The hypothesis of SFI (Meredith, 1993), which we view as crucial to the meaningful interpretation of group differences within the factor model, is tested explicitly in MGCFA.In Jensen's test, this hypothesis is not tested directly, rather, some (but not all) aspects of SFI are investigated piecemeal in the prescribed procedure of Jensen's test (Jensen, 1992).”

  • Incarceration risk is a potentially g-loaded variable, and carceral samples are therefore non-representative of the broader population.

    “Carceral samples (specifically those who were tested in situ with respect to the prison system) were also excluded from the meta-analysis as incarceration risk is a potentially g loaded variable, and they are therefore non-representative of the broader population (Jensen, 1992).”

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.
