Mechanisms¶
- Closed-Form Power Calculation
- The classic misuse is running the same arithmetic after the data, plugging the observed effect back in to report "observed power" as if it defended a null result — a move so circular it has been dubbed the abuse of post-hoc power.
This sourceShows that post-hoc observed power recycles the observed effect and cannot provide independent support for a nonrejected null hypothesis.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
