Abstract
- Conventional statistical significance tests do not inform the researcher regarding the likelihood that results will replicate. One strategy for evaluating result replication is to use a "bootstrap" resampling of a study's data so that the stability of results across numerous configurations of the subjects can be explored. This paper illustrates the use of the bootstrap in a canonical correlation analysis. Canonical correlation analysis is the most general case of classical general linear model analyses, subsuming other univariate and multivariate parametric method (e.g., t-tests, analysis of variance, analysis of covariance, regression, multivariate analysis of variance, and discriminant analysis) as special cases. A sample of 50 out of 301 subjects from a study by K. J. Holzinger and F. Swineford (1939) is used. Since bootstrap analyses capitalize during resampling on the commonalities inherent in a given sample, they yield somewhat inflated evaluations of replicability. However, inflated empirical evaluations of replicability are often superior to a mere presumption of replicability. Ten tables and one figure present details of the analysis. A 63-item list of references and an appendix listing the 50 analysis cases are included. (Author/SLD)
