Persistent controversy in statistical approaches in wildlife sciences: a perspective of students
Article Abstract:
Some students suggest a solution to the persistent controversy over the use of null hypothesis statistical testing (NHST) in wildlife sciences. They propose an academic course to introduce students to various statistical approaches and enable critical thinking on the preferred approach.
