SUMMARY:Madrid-Tilburg Workshop: Statistics and Sc
 ientific Method  I, Madrid, Spain
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20111215
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20111216
LOCATION:Madrid, Spain
DESCRIPTION:Scientists spend a lot of time testing
  a hypothesis, and classifying experimental result
 s as (in)significant evidence. But even after a ce
 ntury of hot debate, there is no consensus on what
  this concept of significance implies, how the res
 ults of hypothesis tests should be interpreted, an
 d which practical pitfalls have to be avoided.  Ou
 r workshop brings together the perspectives of phi
 losophers and methodologists, statisticians and pr
 actitioners. Contributions on all aspects of hypot
 hesis testing that relate to the use and interpret
 ation of those tests, and their role for scientifi
 c inference, are welcome. The workshop will be foc
 used on debate, with a discussant for each paper, 
 no parallel sessions and active engagement between
  the participants.   For more information, see htt
 p://hypothesistests.wordpress.com/   We invite sub
 missions of extended abstracts (up to 1000 words) 
 by 20 September 2011.
