One of the responses to the statistical crisis has been to look towards different kinds of statistical methods including Bayesian statistics and simulation methods. Collectively these are sometimes called 'new statistics', 'alternative statistics', or even 'alt stats'. The term is also sometimes used to include lesser used aspects of more traditional statistics such as confidence intervals and measures of effect size.
Context: Others have reacted by looking toward alternative statistics or ‘new statistics,’ including
both traditional confidence intervals and Bayesian statistics. Some of this thinking is quite valid:
good use of statistics includes using the correct type of analysis for the kinds of data and information
you have available. Furthermore, many traditional methods and tests exist because they
were easy to calculate in the days before cheap and powerful computers.
