Alexander Bird: How Can We Improve Replicability?
ABSTRACT: 
It is my view that the unthinking application of null hypothesis significance testing is a leading cause of a high rate of replication failure in certain fields.  What can be done to address this, within the NHST framework?
Alexander Bird (President, British Society for the Philosophy of Science, Bertrand Russell Professor, Department of Philosophy, University of Cambridge, Fellow and Director of Studies, St John’s College, Cambridge). Previously he was the Peter Sowerby Professor of Philosophy and Medicine, Department of Philosophy, King's College London and prior to that held the chair in Philosophy at the University of Bristol, and was lecturer and then reader at the University of Edinburgh before that. He has also held visiting positions at Dartmouth College, Saint Louis University, Monash University, and All Souls College Oxford. His work is principally in those areas where philosophy of science overlaps with metaphysics and epistemology. He has a particular interest in the philosophy of medicine, especially regarding methodological issues in causal and statistical inference. Website: http://www.alexanderbird.org
