Vals positieven: Geen gebrek aan integriteit, maar een teveel aan flexibiliteit

Nuijten,Michèle B.
Abstract
Hornikx and Batenburg discuss the important problem of false positives in the literature. One of the causes for false positives they give is a faulty incentive system that stimulates unethical behavior. In this reply I argue that false positives are mainly caused by human error, misunderstanding of statistics, and underpowered studies. I suggest a small adaptation to the solutions that were offered.
