Abstract: | The recent claim made in this journal that nuclear bomb tests and the Chernobyl disaster caused distortions in the secondary
sex ratio is shown to be a likely artifact of data mining, misused statistics, and misreading of the evidence. In particular,
the concept of statistical “significance” and its limitations do not seem to be fully understood, and important confounding
factors have not been accounted for. |
