Replication, Communication, and the Population Dynamics of Scientific Discovery

Fig 2

Effects of base rate, replication, power, false-positives, and communication on the probability that an hypothesis with a given tally is true.

The two clusters illustrate difference scenarios. The blue trends, each labeled with its tally value, show precision as it varies by the parameter on each horizontal axis. The numbers indicate the tally of a curve. Dashed curves are tallies of an even number. The vertical hairlines show the parameter values held constant across panels within the same cluster.
