If you want X AND Y AND Z to be significant, you may even want to *increase* alpha for the individual comparisons to not lose power (and keep your overall alpha at the nominal level).
Which you should preregister of course, because people absolutely won’t buy it if you don’t.
Daniël Lakens @lakens Sep 10
I am afraid @stuartbuck1 is getting multiple comparisons wrong. If you want outcome X AND Y AND Z to be significant (as in the example) you do not correct so the problem never happens. You correct if you want X OR Y OR Z to show an effect.

This guarantee is considered attractive in the prevailing...

Looks like a cool analysis, but note that it excludes preprints that were never published. So this last sentence in the abstract amounts to ‘conditioning on preprints accepted by the scientific community, preprints are good enough to be accepted by the scientific community’.

How much does a scientific claim actually change between the preprint and the final published paper?

We used a large language model to track it across all available 72,644 bioRxiv -> journal pairs from 2018 - 2025 in this new work with @HaoYin. 🧵
