TLDR
In this paper, the authors compare Bayesian and frequentist approaches to hypothesis testing and estimation with confidence or credible intervals, and explain how Bayesian methods achieve the goals of the New Statistics better than frequentist methods.Abstract:
In the practice of data analysis, there is a conceptual distinction between hypothesis testing, on the one hand, and estimation with quantified uncertainty on the other. Among frequentists in psychology, a shift of emphasis from hypothesis testing to estimation has been dubbed "the New Statistics" (Cumming 2014). A second conceptual distinction is between frequentist methods and Bayesian methods. Our main goal in this article is to explain how Bayesian methods achieve the goals of the New Statistics better than frequentist methods. The article reviews frequentist and Bayesian approaches to hypothesis testing and to estimation with confidence or credible intervals. The article also describes Bayesian approaches to meta-analysis, randomized controlled trials, and power analysis.read more

bayestestR: Describing Effects and their Uncertainty, Existence and Significance within the Bayesian Framework
TL;DR: The Bayesian framework for statistics is quickly gaining in popularity among scientists, for reasons such as reliability and accuracy, the possibility of incorporating prior knowledge into the analysis, and the intuitive interpretation of results.

Rejecting or Accepting Parameter Values in Bayesian Estimation
TL;DR: In this paper, a decision rule that uses Bayesian posterior distributions as the basis for accepting or rejecting null values of parameters is presented, focusing on the range of plausible values indicated by the highest density interval of the posterior distribution and the relation between this range and a region of practical equivalence (ROPE) around the null value.

Indices of Effect Existence and Significance in the Bayesian Framework.
TL;DR: This study describes and compares several Bayesian indices, provide intuitive visual representation of their “behavior” in relationship with common sources of variance such as sample size, magnitude of effects and also frequentist significance, and contributes to the development of an intuitive understanding of the values that researchers report, critical for the standardization of scientific reporting.

How Many Participants Do We Have to Include in Properly Powered Experiments? A Tutorial of Power Analysis with Reference Tables.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe reference numbers needed for the designs most often used by psychologists, including single-variable between-groups and repeated-measures designs with two and three levels, two-factor designs involving two repeated measures and one repeated measure, and split-plot design.

Analyzing ordinal data with metric models: What could possibly go wrong?
TL;DR: The authors surveyed all articles in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology (JPSP), Psychological Science (PS), and the Journal Experimental Psychology: General (JEP:G) that mentioned the term Likert, and found that 100% of the articles that analyzed ordinal data did so using a metric model.
