Abstract
ABSTRACT This Article discusses reasons for the contemporary emphasis on evaluating the replicability of results from psychological research. Three logics for empirically evaluating the replicability of sample results—cross‐validation, the jackknife, and the bootstrap—are described. A small heuristic data set is employed to make the discussion more concrete and accessible.

The validation problems inherent in small-sample discriminant analysis are examined and two recently developed alternatives to the more traditional methods are explained and illustrated in the context of a salesman-selection problem.
