Ten common statistical mistakes to watch out for when writing or reviewing a manuscript
by Tamar R. Makin and Jean-Jacques Orban de Xivry
Abstract
Inspired by broader efforts to make the conclusions of scientific research more robust, we have compiled a list of some of the most common statistical mistakes that appear in the scientific literature. The mistakes have their origins in ineffective experimental designs, inappropriate analyses and/or flawed reasoning. We provide advice on how authors, reviewers and readers can identify and resolve these mistakes and, we hope, avoid them in the future.
