Hours to reach certain NTRPs: Statistical Evidence

[Timbo's hopeless slice]

There are a lot less jobs than there are violinists, basically.

A full time place in a decent ensemble pays VERY well. But you have to be REALLY good.

(read Vikram Seth's "An equal music" to get a feel for life as a pro violinist)

It is not surprising that, from the outset (e.g. Boring, 1919), significance tests have been subject to intense criticism. Their use has been explicitly denounced by the most eminent and most experienced scientists, both on theoretical and methodological grounds, not to mention the sharp controversies on the very foundations of statistical inference that opposed Fisher to Neyman and Pearson, and continue to oppose frequentists to Bayesians. In the sixties there was more and more criticism, especially in the behavioral and social sciences, denouncing the shortcomings of significance tests: the significance test controversy (Morrison & Henkel, 1970).
