VIBES
Methods

Four methods, each with a small working simulation you can run in the page, the history, what is contested, and the methodological critiques. They are tools for reading the research on this site, not games.

*the staircase — an adaptive threshold measurement, run on you
*the ROC curve — hits against false alarms, and what the area means
*power — what significance filters, and how estimates inflate
*preregistration — forking paths, simulated

nearby

*replication — the crisis these methods answer
*the instrument cabinet — the apparatus
*timeline: replication — what did and did not hold up
