Detecting the contagion effect in mass killings; a constructive example of the statistical advantages of unbinned likelihood methods
BACKGROUND: When attempting to statistically distinguish between a null and an alternative hypothesis, many researchers in the life and social sciences turn to binned statistical analysis methods, or methods that are simply based on the moments of a distribution (such as the mean, and variance). The...
