Gregory Francis

Professor of psychological sciences at Purdue, co-author of herzog-understanding-statistics, and the researcher most associated with the Test for Excess Success — the check that asks whether a set of studies succeeded more often than their own reported effect sizes and sample sizes could support. Discovered while ingesting the book.

The TES is the reason that book earns a page in this spoke rather than a line: it is a piece of applied statistics whose subject is other people’s statistics.
