Ironing out the statistical wrinkles in "ten ironic rules"

Martin A Lindquist et al. Neuroimage. .

Abstract

The article "Ten ironic rules for non-statistical reviewers" (Friston, 2012) shares some commonly heard frustrations about the peer-review process that all researchers can identify with. Though we found the article amusing, we have some concerns about its description of a number of statistical issues. In this commentary we address these issues, as well as the premise of the article.
