Likelihood and Bayesian Inference from Selectively Reported Data

If the reported data of an experiment have been subject to selection, then inference from such data should be modified accordingly. We investigate the modification required to the face-value ...

Maximum likelihood inference implies a high, not a low, ancestral haploid chromosome number in Araceae, with a critique of the bias introduced by 'x'

• Background and Aims For 84 years, botanists have relied on calculating the highest common factor for series of haploid chromosome numbers to arrive at a so-called basic number, x. This was done ...
