STAT CHAT – Data, Designs, and Tests

STAT CHAT – Data, Designs, and Tests

(Editor’s Note:  This article was the first in a series of articles intended to present basic concepts, practices, and tools used for the statistical analysis of research data generated in our IVF programs. It is republished here as a service to our readers and a preview of the forthcoming e-book containing all the published chapters in the near future. I hope the reader will find this uniquely focused material helpful during presentation of laboratory generated data.)

The purpose of this paper is to understand basic concepts in study design and statistics rather than presenting details of analytic methods.  To this end, there will be no formulas or calculations in this paper.  I can’t promise that for any future articles.    I hope this paper leads to more studies with “wise decisions” rather than “unreliable facts.”
