Statistical Inference and Common Misapplications

How everyday statistical vocabulary elides the inference errors behind most reported findings — selection, power, and specification.

Inference is often conflated with the testing vocabulary that encodes it — but the matters that affect inference (selection, specification, power) almost always show up beneath the visible vocabulary. From the LHS Lens, the inherited-conditioning here is that 'statistically significant' has come to feel like 'true' when only the specified alternative could fail to be excluded.
