:::::Those papers have nothing to do with hypothesis testing. One is an archeology paper. To be blunt, it seems like you’re just doing internet searches on “Monte Carlo” to find these links. [[User:SJohnson|SJohnson]] 10:10, 12 March 2009 (EDT)

::::::SJohnson, actually they do, did you read the papers? If so you would see how they used the MCM for their data analysis of small data sets, which indeed was hypothesis testing and answers you inquiry about publications that use MCM for small data set analysis. If you wish I can try to track down some actual mathematical publications, however, I am not as familiar with mathematical journals as I am with science/medical journals (not knowing which mathematical journals are acceptable). I am assuming that you have a background in math and possibly access to mathematical journals, therefore if you know the reputable ones I can do the leg work.
::::::I believe the thing that needs to be looked at is there truly a problem with the choice of test and if so what is an alternative. Bayesian might be an option but seems to be difficult to employ for this situation.--[[User:Able806|Able806]] 12:36, 12 March 2009 (EDT)
:::Able806, you still seem to miss the point about how inappropriate the Monte Carlo method (as used in the Lenski paper) is for evaluating rarely occurring events. You need to open your mind to be productive. If you simply cling to a view that Lenski (who I don't think has any meaningful education in statistics) must somehow be right, then you're not going to make any progress in understanding the flaws.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 17:07, 5 March 2009 (EST)
