Interview with Lovisa Berggren

Prespecified=good and post-hoc=bad. This is how we as statistician see it usually and I did too. However, over the past years I realized more and more, that it’s not that easy.

How many details do you need to have to call an analysis pre-specified? Should we label a request to analyse a certain subgroup by regulators as well as a fishing expedition to find a significant subgroup both in the same way: post-hoc?

Lovisa and I together with some others are presenting at the next PSI conference about this topic and today, we dive into this topic and identify different dimension to be considered to understand better the different shades pre-specified analyses.

Listen to this episode to avoid oversimplification and confusion in discussions in the future.
