They condemn fishing expeditions and publi cation bias across empirical scientific fields applying statistical method s\, such as health sciences. But what about good practice issues in their own - methodological - research\, i.e. research considering statistical (o r more generally\, computational) methods as research objects? When develo ping and evaluating new statistical methods and data analysis tools\, do s tatisticians and data scientists adhere to the good practice principles th ey promote in fields which apply statistics and data science? I argue that methodological researchers should make substantial efforts to address wha t may be called the replication crisis in the context of methodological re search in statistics and data science\, in particular by trying to avoid b ias in comparison studies based on simulated or real data. I discuss topic s such as publication bias\, cherry-picking\, and the design and necessity of neutral comparison studies\, and review recent positive developments t owards more reliable empirical evidence in the context of methodological b iostatistical research.\n\nSpeaker bio\n\nAnne-Laure Boulesteix obtained a diploma in engineering from the Ecole Centrale Paris\, a diploma in mathe matics from the University of Stuttgart (2001) and a PhD in statistics (20 05) from the Ludwig Maximilian University (LMU) of Munich. After a postdoc phase in medical statistics\, she joined the Medical School of the Univer sity of Munich as a junior professor (2009) and professor (2012). She is w orking at the interface between biostatistics\, machine learning and medic ine with a particular focus on metascience and evaluation of methods. She is a steering committee member of the STRATOS initiative\, founding member of the LMU Open Science Center and president of the German Region of the International Biometric Society.\n DTSTART:20240110T203000Z DTEND:20240110T213000Z SUMMARY:Towards reliable empirical evidence in methodological biostatistica l research: recent developments and remaining challenges URL:/epi-biostat-occh/channels/event/towards-reliable- empirical-evidence-methodological-biostatistical-research-recent-developme nts-and-353620 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
