Abstract

Yu et al . suggested calculating precisely the size ranges of the three parts of our figure 3A, adjusting the free-energy levels in figure 3B, and considering the shape effect in the first-principles calculation. The first and second suggestions raise strong concerns for misinterpretation and overinterpretation of our experiments. The original calculation is sufficient to support our claim about crystalline-to-disordered transformations.

3. The simplest instance of Simpson’s paradox is that the average of averages is not the average. For example the average of {1 1 1} is 1 ( n = 3) and the average of {5} is 5 ( n = 1). The average of the two averages is 6/2 = 3 but the average of all numbers is 8/4 = 2. What Yu et al. performed is to average variable numbers of data points and then to apply curve fitting to the averages which has the mathematically equivalent problem as this example has.
