Frequently Asked Questions
Does a calculated statistic prove a conclusion?
A statistic describes the supplied data under stated assumptions. Sampling design, missing observations and the suitability of the model still determine what can reasonably be concluded.
Should I include every observation?
Use the observations required by your study design and state any exclusion rule. Removing values only because they change the answer can bias the analysis.
