Confidence intervals permit, but do not guarantee, better inference than statistical significance testing.

TL;DR: Improved statistical inference can result from encouragement of meta-analytic thinking and use of CIs but, for full benefit, such highly desirable statistical reform requires also that researchers interpret CIs without recourse to NHST.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal Article

Journal ArticleDOI
