I just received the latest TOC alert for Behavior Research Methods, and this article caught my eye:

Researcher degrees of freedom in statistical software contribute to unreliable results: A comparison of nonparametric analyses conducted in SPSS, SAS, Stata, and R

I've not had time to read it yet, but judging from a quick glance, I wonder if the main "problem" might be that users do not always take time to RTFM* and therefore, do not understand what their software is doing? In any case, I thought some members of this forum might be interested.

Cheers,
Bruce
