Replication Value Usage and its Performance for Large SampleSizes - Commentary on Isager et al. (2021)

Abstract: To help researchers determine what studies to replicate, Isager et al. (2021, p.1) introduced the Replication Value (RV), “a proxy for expected utility gain”. In this commentary, we point out that there are scenarios where people can opt to replicate studies with a lower RV compared to those with a higher RV. Methodologically, we highlight that the differences in the RV become very small when comparing studies with different large (e.g., over 500) samples. To adjust for this, we demonstrate that a modification… Show more
