Blouin, David C.; Riopelle, Arthur J. – Psychological Methods, 2005
Confidence intervals (CIs) for means are frequently advocated as alternatives to null hypothesis significance testing (NHST), for which a common theme in the debate is that conclusions from CIs and NHST should be mutually consistent.
