The MuST (Munich-Sydney-Turin) conference series in philosophy of science joins forces with the workshop series “Perspectives on Scientific Error” to bring together an interdisciplinary group of researchers interested in issues of scientific method and statistical inference. The conference topic is
“STATISTICAL REASONING AND SCIENTIFIC ERROR”
The topics of the conference include, but are not limited to:

* the foundations of statistical inference
* the relationship between statistical reasoning and scientific error
* the place of statistics in scientific method
* the replicability of research findings
* techniques for detecting and correcting scientific error
* reform proposals for scientific method (e.g., Bayesian vs. frequentist statistics, publication practices, incentive structures)
* reliable methods of aggregating and interpreting evidence
* values in science, and their impact on scientific error
