[LMU-OSC News] Statistical Reasoning and Scientific Error Conference: July 1-4, LMU Munich

[LMU Open Science Center News]

# Statistical Reasoning and Scientific Error

Statistical reasoning pervades experimental research, but how to apply 
it is a longstanding issue of debate in philosophy and science. Recent 
studies that reveal a high prevalence of error and lack of 
reproducibility in published research highlight the urgency of 
developing sound foundations of statistical reasoning, and finding 
techniques for detecting and correcting scientific error. So much the 
more as scientific error undermines the epistemic authority of science, 
and the degree to which policy-makers trust scientific experts.

The conference brings together an interdisciplinary group of researchers 
interested in issues of statistical reasoning and scientific error. It 
focuses on the foundations of statistical inference, how statistical 
reasoning is applied in the sciences, how statistical inference can 
correct scientific error and which proposals for reforming scientific 
method (including restructuring the peer review and publication system) 
can increase the reliability of published research.

**The conference takes place from July 1 to 4 at LMU Munich. Attendance 
is open to anyone, provided you register in advance. Registration closes 
on June 15.**
