	Standard 5-1 : NCES Statistical Standards
		Statistical analysis techniques must be used that are appropriate for the specific research question.
		The efficacy of individual statistical approaches depends on the assumptions of the techniques having been met; therefore, the assumptions underlying the techniques must be discussed.
		If a statistically significant difference for a total group under study is observed, but similar subgroup differences of the same magnitude are associated with smaller sample sizes and/or larger standard errors and are not statistically significant, this may be noted.

	Bayes' Theorem
		The biostatistician Richard Royall is a particularly lucid defender of likelihoodism (Royall 1997).
		Royall argues strenuously against the idea that incremental evidence can be measured in terms of the disparity between unconditional and conditional probabilities.
		Royall's point is that neither the probability ratio nor probability difference will capture the sort of objective evidence required by science because their values depend on the "subjective" terms P(E) and P(H), and not just on the "objective" likelihoods P

		A hierarchical Bayesian modelling approach is presented and its use, inversely, is demonstrated in a relatively small but statistically challenging exercise, the reconstruction of prehistoric climate at Glendalough in Ireland from fossil pollen.
		The statistical issues raised relate to the use of compositional data (pollen) with covariates (climate) which are available at many modern sites but are missing for the fossil data.
		The compositional data arise as mixtures and the missing covariates have a temporal structure.

		In what is evidently a misprint, its website identifies the exact date of founding as 1834, February 31 — a date that seems statistically improbable.
		Its website also indicates that in 1887 the Society became the Royal Statistical Society.
