We do modern frequentist statistics: Using fake-data simulation (https://statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu)

An article named “This is how we do modern frequentist statistics” is an excerpt from a book called “Bayesian workflows”

Where is the article explaining that?

Anyway, great article, thanks for sharing.

This technique is very useful to gain intuition for a given sample size. Just run a few simulations with uncorrelated data and then you can get a sense of how extreme the estimators can be.

This should be automatic now in any statistical analysis given ubiquity of coding agents.
