A Bayesian decision-making framework for replication

Behav Brain Sci. 2018 Jan:41:e132. doi: 10.1017/S0140525X18000675.

Abstract

Replication is the cornerstone of science - but when and why? Not all studies need replication, especially when resources are limited. We propose that a decision-making framework based on Bayesian philosophy of science provides a basis for choosing which studies to replicate.
