Statistical Methods and Quality of Analyses in Medical Journals

Department of Statistics
Western Michigan University

Abstract:
The literature contains many surveys of statistical methodology used in published articles. We discuss some surveys that focus on medical journals, the typical statistical methods used, and changes in methodology over the years. We also discuss surveys that look at common deficiencies in statistical analyses and reporting. We will end with a set of published guidelines for how to describe statistical analysis and present the results when writing manuscripts for scientific journals.

Joshua Naranjo is Professor in the Department of Statistics and Director of Statistical Consulting.
