Why Psychologists Must Change the Way They Analyze Their Data: The Case of Psi, Eric-Jan Wagenmakers and colleagues' 2011 article in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, is a peer reviewed methodological critique reanalyzing Daryl Bem's published psi experiments with Bayesian statistics and finding the evidence for psi weak to nonexistent. Its strength is that it is peer reviewed methodological scholarship in a leading psychology journal, confirmed against the paper's own listing. Its limit is that it is one side of a published exchange; Bem's own reply and later commentary in the same debate should also be checked.
